Domaine Métairie Blanche 2020
Corbières-Boutenac AOC
Loading...
Top wines from the standout Corbières cru of Boutenac easily fetch £50 a bottle. That makes Metairie Blanche a bit of a steal. It's from a small, family estate with very old vines, ensuring real weight and depth to this lush, ripe, herb-scented red.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
