"The must-have of the year in Cabardès, earning its author his first Favorite and top marks. What made it so popular? The "very typical Cabardès" nose, with its accent of fresh black fruit, sprinkled with cocoa and spices, and the charming palate, caressing on the attack, smoothly extracted, full of cherry and enhanced by finely chiselled tannins. It exudes elegance and good taste. Simply perfect. (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

About the wine:
The must-have of the year in Cabardès, earning its author his first Favorite and top marks. What made it so popular? The "very typical Cabardès" nose, with its accent of fresh black fruits, sprinkled with cocoa and spices, and the charming palate, caressing on the attack, smoothly extracted, full of cherry and enhanced by finely chiselled tannins. All this exudes elegance and good taste. Simply perfect.
About the domain :
One of the historic estates of the Cabardès, once a dependency of the Abbey of Lagrasse. Since 1986, Anne and Frédéric Maurel have run this vast 110-hectare (organic) estate on the stony plateau of Conques-sur-Orbiel. Originally, it is said, a lucky great-grandfather won it in a game of chance...

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 23/12/2024
With its heady, slightly surly character, this unvarnished Cabardes reveals itself to be both lively and juicy, with a full-bodied, thick body that combines a hyper-concentration of very tart fruit and intensely peppery mint on a straight, tight frame with a well-grained accent. Firm, powerful tannins, long, fresh aftertaste. Pair with a family dish of penne with arrabiata or royal couscous with harissa, Echoing the spicy notes of Syrah. Score = 3.5.
