Single-site Minervois cuvée. Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault in fairly equal portions. Medium-bodied with black fruit, spice and earthy, stony notes. Shows the domaine’s focus on finesse over weight.
Notes of Mediterranean herbs, spices, dark berries, mulberries and flowers preface the 2023 Minervois Les Fontanilles, a medium to full-bodied, dense and layered wine framed by elegant, sweet tannins, culminating in a long, spicy and mineral finish. This is a classic in the making.
