Domaine de Fontsainte Corbières (75cl, 14.5%)

Domaine de Fontsainte Corbières is a southern French red wine from the Corbières appellation. It is an unfiltered blend of 60% Carignan, 30% Grenache Noir and 10% Syrah from estate vineyards. Carbonic maceration was pioneered at the estate in 1971. Approximately 60% of the wine ages for eight to twelve months in French oak barrels, while 40% matures in cement tanks. Aroma of fresh cherry, blueberry, jammy black fruits, olive paste, cocoa powder, black pepper and licorice. Palate round and concentrated with dark berries, black currants, boysenberry, delicate tannins and tasty acidity. Finish smooth and lingering with vibrant forest fruits and elegant oak integration.
