Description
In a nutshell:
Rich, ripe, sun-kissed fruit and a touch of earthy spice - a Corbières red that delivers effortless charm and serious value.
The lowdown:
Deep purple in the glass, this Southern charmer bursts with blackberries and a hint of liquorice. Old vines from the Corbières region give this red its richness and depth. It's a blend of classic grapes - Syrah, Grenache, with some Marselan and Carignan for good measure. The winemaking aims for plushness, crafting soft tannins that make this remarkably easy to drink. This isn't the rustic Corbières of old - it's a modern, fruit-forward style that's all about pure pleasure and immediate enjoyment.
The Producer:
Château Fontareche embodies a quiet power within the Languedoc. This historic estate, nestled near Narbonne, speaks volumes through its 160 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards. Here, free-draining gravel and limestone soils provide a foundation. While the climate poses challenges, the expertise of Jacques De Lamy shines. He focuses on achieving physiological ripeness in the fruit - a testament to his skill and the key to Fontareche's consistently high-quality wines. Expect a restrained elegance and a depth of flavour that reveals itself subtly with each sip.
When to drink:
A warming, easy-drinking red - lovely on its own or a comforting match with sausages and mash or a slow-cooked stew.
