"From small yields and a blend of 55% Syrah and 45% Grenache, the 2020 Grande Cuvée Corbières is similarly deeply hued yet has a deeper, richer, more powerful style in its ripe black cherry and darker berry fruits, chocolate, peppery garrigue, and savory herb-driven aromas and flavors. It's medium to full-bodied and has a balanced, layered, opulent mouthfeel and a great finish. It's certainly a bigger, richer wine than the classic cuvée, but I love both for different reasons."

"The Grand Cuvée Corbières is a savory wine and dark fruited. It displays a hint of toasted oak and leather on the nose. On the palate is shows good depth, firm tannins and excellent structure. An approximate 50/50 blend (the precise blend varies by vintage) of Grenache and Syrah aged 10+ months in 25% new barriques. - Don WINKLER"
"(55% Syrah and 45% Grenache) Different style to La Pompadour. No maceration carbonique here, all de-stemmed and aged in barriques 225l, 25% new for one year. More intense black cherry, strawberry and kirsch notes with some wild herbs from surrounding garrigue. Serious structure with firmer tannins, high acidity and a long, mineral finish."
