More on the wine
Corbières-Boutenac is a relatively new appellation, a first cru for the Corbières appellation, acknowledging the excellence of terroir and a number of outstanding producers making fantastic wines. The rugged hills of the Corbières have become a cherished source of full-bodied reds of excellent quality, and one of members’ favourites in recent years has been Ollieux-Romanis, one of the region’s leading lights with whom we have worked for many years. They were the natural choice to make our Generation Series Corbières having produced our member-favourite Society's version for a long time. The blend here is 45% carignan, 25% mourvèdre, 20% syrah and 10% grenache. It draws its intensity from old vines – 40 to 100 years old – and was aged partly in barrels. Fragrant, black-fruited and smoky, full, rich and long, it’s fine advertisement for this much-loved region.
Generic Producer
Decanter
Garrigue dominates the nose. Carignan leads, with Syrah adding savoury tapenade and Grenache bringing juicy fruit. Plum, blueberry, blackberry and cherry with oregano, thyme and smoked paprika.
