- TASTING NOTE: "Upfront aromas of blue and black fruit with pronounced notes of fresh earth, wet stone and dried herbs. There's a lot going on, a lot of sweet and almost over-ripe fruit, weighty and dense. Textural tannins lend a taut grippiness. (Drink between 2023-2028)" Natalie Earl, Decanter
- ABOUT THE WINE: Made from Syrah, Carignan, Grenache Noir and Marselan. The Carignan component has been carbonic macerated, while the entire blend has been aged in stainless-steel tanks before bottling.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Vines have been growing at Fontarèche since the 14th century, but it wasn't until 1682 that the estate came into the possession of the De Lamy family. No less than 17 grape varieties are planted on the ancient terrasses, where the vines are deeply rooted in the gravelly and stony soils of l'Orbieu.
