Domaine Garrigue Grande 2020
Coteaux de la Cabrerisse IGP
Loading...
From a tiny forgotten region, tucked among the great 'crus' of Corbières, this is a luscious, velvety red. The only one from this tiny IGP. It combines silky, blackberry-scented Marselan with plummy Merlot and spicy Syrah to thrilling effect.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Wine
Coteaux Cabrerisse is a forgotten tiny IGP appellation reborn! Anne and Xavier de Volontat are the 'rebirthers' - the only producers using this IGP name. This community-minded couple (Xavier is the local mayor, president of the local winegrowers and helps run the local paper!) are the 7th generation to run their family estate, set in a beautiful 12th century convent. And yes, the nuns also grew vines. The village is St Laurent de la Cabrerisse and it's set between the two great crus of Corbières – Boutenac and Lagrasse. A real taste of southern France, it uses spicy Syrah with plummy Merlot and the rich, velvety black fruit of Marselan. A luscious, smooth red to enjoy on its own, or with sausage and mash or a rich herby casserole.
