Château Fabre Gasparets Boutenac 2021

This is a wine that doesn't hold back - it's got that deep, dark colour that tells you it's bold from the first glance. Think ripe black cherries and dark fruits, with a dusting of something a bit spicy and exotic. It's made with classic Corbières grapes, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Carignan - and they don't skimp on the winemaking either. Whole bunches for extra depth, then a bit of time in oak barrels. The result? A rich, satisfying flavour that lingers nicely. Boutenac vineyards have a bit of a reputation, and you can taste why in this seriously good wine.

This calls for robust fare - think flavoursome stews or a prime cut of beef cooked simply and served rare. It's great now, or you could tuck it away for a few years for even more depth.
