Corbieres Le Fournas 2006, Domaine Sainte Croix
This is the entry level Corbieres of this domaine. A blend of 55% carignan, 33% grenache, 12% syrah. The Carignan-vines is 100 years old, the syrah is young vines. Quite long maceration (15-25 days). Yield is only 25 Hl/ha. The juice is only tank-aged. Extremely pure and juicy style. Great and intense nose. Fullbodied in the mouth with a concentration one is not used to in such a cheap wine. Typically soft as these southern wines often are. A joy to drink now. Highly recommended for the low price.
