Maxime Magnon, Corbières 'Campagnès' 2019/21
Place: Corbières, France
Grape: Carignan + Grenache + Syrah + Grenache Gris + Macabeu + Terret
Vibe: Natural, lighter
Mostly Carignan, like 95%, from a century old vineyard co-planted with Grenache, Syrah, Grenache Gris, Macabeu and Terret that also get thrown in the vat. You know how some wines manage to combine phenomenal complexity with effortless drinkability? Here's another. There's power but also lift and a suppleness to the fruit that just screams throw me in the fridge for halfa and then get cracking. Lovely. ABV: 14%
