The Wine
Over 40 years ago, the small co-operative in Fabrezan, a top area of Corbières, produced a special style of red. It was made by macération carbonique – handpicked bunches of grapes were left whole to ferment and the wine taken off the skins at the precise moment when there was optimum fruit, colour and aroma. It took precision and was costly, so was dropped. But when a new winemaker, Benoît Fillaquier, arrived at the cellar, he resurrected this special method. The wine's named after 19th century poet (he inspired the surrealist movement) and inventor Charles Cros, who was born in Fabrezan in 1842. Native grapes Carignan, Syrah and Mourvèdre are carefully vinified to make this sumptuous red. In double magnum, it’s sure to impress guests.
