Jean-Baptiste and Amelie are two passionate young winemakers, devoted to their tiny family estate, Château Guillem de Montjustin. Their grapes were too good to send to the local co-op, so they started making the wine themselves. But it's difficult to make it viable when production is so small, and it's all made by hand, in a tiny, shed-like winery. Taste their fabulous Corbières and you'll understand why we'd like you to help make it work. One Vineyard Partner was so impressed, he drove all the way to Corbières to see them.

The wine

This couple's tiny vineyard is literally a road apart from 'Grand Cru' of Corbières, Boutenac. There Gérard Betrand's wines fetch £40-£60 a bottle. Same soils, same grapes, all beautifully crafted, but Amelie and Jean-Baptiste’s wine comes at a fraction of the price. It's a rich, expressive red, with concentrated blackberry, cherry and boysenberry flavours woven through with herbal and sweet spice notes. Full bodied, firmly textured, with velvet tannins and a long finish.

Come and visit

Jean-Baptiste and Amelie would be very happy to welcome you at their small estate – the cellar is a tiny outhouse, so don't expect anything grand. Their English is halting, so do polish up your French if you can. Otherwise, the two of them will do their very best and the wine will have to do the talking!
