The Minervois is a large natural ampitheatre, facing due south with its back and sides to the Montagne Noire. Made from a blend of Syrah (of which 50% is grown on schist soils and 20% undergoes carbonic maceration), Mourvedre and Grenache. Deep ruby in colour with notes of cherries and pepper on the nose. The palate is full bodied and complex with notes of dried fruits, truffle, chocolate and spice.
