Corbières `Les Mains sur les Hanches`, Domaine Sainte-Marie des Crozes

Domaine Sainte Marie des Crozes
Product Code: MF10ZZRC

Tasting Notes

Beautiful ruby dress, intense and brilliant. The nose is powerful and atypical, first dominated by notes of cocoa, then evolving into scents of nutmeg and chestnut. The mouth, dense and fleshy, in attack is endowed with a beautiful sweetness, and dominated by very present tannins but of great finesse. A beautiful acidity completes the remarkable balance of this wine that is both long in the mouth and elegant.

About this product +

Producer >

Run with fantastic energy by the young Christelle Alias, this 38 ha estate lies at the foot of the Montagne d’Alaric in the northerly, cooler part of the Corbières. In 1997 the vineyards were completely restructured by Christelle’s father, Bernard, and are now cultivated organically. Christelle joined her father in 2012 after a tour of the viticultural world and has clearly had fun creating her wines: there is a juicy vibrancy – she clearly aims for freshness and elegance over extraction and power.

Viticulture >

Clay Limestone

Winemaking >

Pigeages in thermo-regulated tank for 8 days, then aging in new barrels of different heaters and wood until the end of the malolactic fermentation, i.e. 2 months.
