Les Vignes Oubliées "Autour du Cinsault" Red 2024

WARNING For the environment, the domaine Has decided to no longer use aluminum capsules (purely aesthetic), but no worries, the wine is perfectly protected and the payment of taxes (represented by the now optional Marianne) is well executed !

In Magnum (Bettane + Desseauve online, February 12, 2019): about the cuvée, without a specific vintage:

Alain Chameyrat fell for the cuvée"Around the Cinsault", domaine Les Vignes Oubliées, Languedoc. The cinsault vinified in red is making a big comeback and that is excellent news.

A handful of the best winemakers in Languedoc, unfortunately too few, are rediscovering the virtues of cinsault, an old grape variety that has been used to make vats of rosé, sometimes good. When vinified in red, it is undoubtedly the ultimate thirst-quenching wine, and the ease and pleasure it provides can be combined with an astonishing depth when well-treated. Jean-Baptiste Granier, a young agricultural engineer, produces one of the most exciting versions. A delicious, floral finish with red fruits and licorice. The similarity in tactile sensations with the great Pinot Noirs of Burgundy is evident. It has all the qualities of a great wine, except the price.
