Cabalié is our most loved wine, but this is the ultimate - the Origine. It's the first time the wine's been made from grapes taken from the two original, 100-year-old vineyards. The grapes are exceptionally concentrated and the wine velvety and rich.

We all love the richness, the power and lovely velvety feel (what the French call 'gouleyant) of Cabalié. Well the Origine has all that, but is even more gorgeously fruit powered. As all the Cabalié wines, it's made by the great Hervé Sabardeil. Recently the two original vineyards of Cabalié came up for sale - the grower was retiring. Hervé had had difficulty buying the grapes for some years, so he jumped at the chance of acquiring the vineyards. The vines are planted on very sparse, steeply terraced slopes in the beautifully rugged Agly valley. There's hardly any soil, just slithers of schist over the blue granite, so little grows there. Only these old vines. Using four of the region's top red grapes, it's gorgeous, intense and velvety.
