In a few words ...

Château de Villemajou Grand Vin has its origins in the encounter between the exceptional terroir of Boutenac, original grape varieties and the winemaker's know-how. Located in the Corbières hinterland, this estate is distinguished by its very old vines of Carignan, a Mediterranean grape variety rehabilitated for the production of great Languedoc wines. The exceptional soil allows deep rooting, protecting the vineyard from the excesses of the Mediterranean climate (water stress, violent storms). The remarkable quality of this cuvée lies in the exceptional quality of the grapes. The estate's vines are 80 years old for the Carignan and 30 years old for the Syrah. Yields (30 hl/ha) are carefully controlled, with green harvesting to reduce the load on each vine and ensure even ripening of the bunches. Harvesting is carried out by hand, starting when the grapes have reached full maturity (regular tastings of the grapes in the vineyard to determine the harvest date). Some of the Syrah and Carignan grapes are vinified by carbonic maceration (whole bunches). Traditional maceration is used for the other grape varieties. After malolactic fermentation, the wines are blended and placed in 225-liter Bordeaux barrels in our cellar for 10 to 12 months of ageing. The wine is neither fined nor filtered before bottling, and is then kept for 12 months before being sold.

A magnificent wine with fresh finesse and melted tannins, long on the palate with flavours of stewed fruit and a hint of spice. A great wine.

A pleasant, rather dense wine with mellow tannins - very good with red meats or cheeses requiring a good counterpoint.
