2022 Domaine Sainte Croix « Le Fournas » - Corbières - 12 Bottles (0.75L)

12 bottles from Domaine Sainte Croix, Cuvée Le Fournas, 2022. Nestled in the rocky, wild hills of Hautes Corbières, Domaine Sainte Croix is located in the commune of Fraïssé des Corbières, a small village in the south of France, on the border between Languedoc and Roussillon, about 20 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea. The blue-steel limestone, quartz clays, and green- and purple-slates compose the 13 hectares of a complex terroir. These vines benefit from a pronounced mesoclimate in which maritime influences blend with those of the hinterland, drier and warmer. This gives red, rosé, and white wines with a strong personality, a mix of concentration and elegance. There are many similarities with the nearby Roussillon (one valley farther south). In this terroir, the local dialect derives more from Occitan than from French. Grenache has long been renowned here; today, these same vines are cultivated, sheltered by the old walls of golden stones, bordered by fig trees, almond trees and prickly pears. Dense cherry-red in color. Aromas of cassis, dark leaves, prune, raspberry, and currant. On the palate, cassis, dark fruits, and prune accompany a bright freshness, melt-in-the-mouth tannins, a mineral note evoking flint, and a very long, aromatic finish.
