Côtes du Roussillon Héritage Rouge, Château de Corneilla 2023

Red Wine from France - Roussillon
5.000000000 star rating 1 Reviews
The Roussillon, close to the French border with Spain and dominated by the iconic Mont Canigou mountain, is hot enough to be a haven for growing fruit, from melons to grapes. This is heartwarming, generous and plummy. We are delighted to name the estate a Wine Society Pioneer for their longstanding approach to sustainability, from impressive efforts in water conservation in a region where it is a precious commodity to building bat boxes and bird nesting places. They use no synthetic chemicals, preferring sexual confusion techniques to deter pests and the bats to eat them. Soil regeneration is also encouraged, with cover crops to aid water ingress and the worm population while introducing nitrogen. Every February a flock of sheep graze the cover crops and fertilise the soil without compacting it. Biodiversity is a key pillar of their approach too, helping to create a balanced ecosystem. Local beekeepers’ keep hives amid the vines. In the local community, Agathe Jonquères d'Oriola is a member of ‘Vin de Femmes’, a local association of 12 women wine producers who run an annual event that attracts big crowds and provides income for local associations supporting ill women and children.

Dark crimson. Sweet and round yet fresh. Very intense. There’s a heck of a lot of sunlight in this glass! It tastes more than 13.5% alcohol. A food wine – a meat wine – with more than a suggestion of Spain across the Pyrenees. Good value. JancisRobinson.com
