2022 Domaine Sainte Croix « Le Fournas » - Corbières - 12 Bottles (0.75L)

12 bottles from Domaine Sainte Croix, cuvée Le Fournas 2022. Nestled in the rocky and wild hills of the Hautes Corbières, Domaine Sainte Croix is located in the commune of Fraïssé des Corbières, a small village in the south of France, at the border between Languedoc and Roussillon, 20 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea. The blue-steel limestone, quartz clays, and leaves of green and purple shale make up the 13 hectares of a complex terroir. These vines benefit from a pronounced mesoclimate in which maritime influences mingle with those of the hinterland, drier and warmer. This yields red, rosé and white wines with a strong personality, a blend of concentration and elegance. There are many similarities with the nearby Roussillon (one valley further south). In this terroir, the local dialect traces its origins more to Occitan than to French. Grenache grape has long been renowned there; today, we cultivate these same vines, sheltered by the old walls of golden stones, bordered by fig trees, almond trees and guigniers. Dense, cherry-red in color. Aromas of cassis, dark leaves, prunes, raspberries and redcurrants. On the palate, cassis, dark fruits and prune accompany a fine freshness, melted tannins, a minerality evoking flint, and a very long, aromatic finish. See my other listings on Catawiki.
