Description
France: Languedoc-Roussillon
Rich & Powerful Red
Medium-Full Body - Unoaked
Organic - Vegan - ABV 13.5% - 75.0cl
In a Nutshell:
A vibrant, savoury Languedoc red with dark fruit, sweet spice and layers of complexity throughout.
The Lowdown:
Boutenac is a corner of the Languedoc where Corbières gets serious - a distinct terroir where Carignan forms the heart of the blend, bringing the backbone and freshness that define the area's robust and structured reds. Here we've got dark berry fruit and plum alongside garrigue herbs and sweet spice, with layers of savoury complexity running through. The blend - 40% Carignan, 30% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault - is kept unoaked to let the fruit shine through clearly. Full-bodied, rich and complex, it comes with depth but not heaviness.
The Producer:
Jacqueline and François Bories, in the 1980s, were the ones who laid the foundations for bringing Château Ollieux Romanis to where it is today. They modernised the property, acquired new vineyards and re-vamped their older ones keeping, wherever possible, some of the older vines. In 2001 they were joined by their son Pierre and their reputation has continued to go from strength to strength. The estate extends to around 150 hectares of vineyards based around their property in the heart of the Corbières region. They havent used artificial herbicides for many years and for fertilisers they mainly rely on compost made on the estate in favour of bought in chemicals. Their range of wines, which are always super value for money, are a great reflection of their passion for this southerly part of the Languedoc.
When to Drink:
Good with grilled meats, cassoulet or hearty stews, where its structure and savoury depth come into their own.
