Minervois

Château Guéry - Minervois Grès 2022

4.7/5 (3 reviews)

"A cuvée of pure pleasure. Let yourself be surprised by its fullness, complexity and price!"

"Three stars, one Favorite and a very good deal for this Minervois dominated by Grenache Noir. Discreet yet distinctive, the nose delivers warm aromas of ripe red fruit against a background of garrigue, Zan and pepper. Surprisingly fresh on the attack, set against silky tannins, the palate delivers a round, soft flesh, without excess, which lingers for a long time on this sunny fruit, very Languedoc. Already blossoming, nothing protrudes except pleasure" (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

Domaine de Courbissac - Minervois Les Traverses rosé 2023

Clos Centeilles - Minervois Le C rouge 2017

4/5 (2 reviews)

"This deeply Languedoc and authentic wine reveals the originality of forgotten grape varieties".

"C de Centeilles is a blend of four forgotten grape varieties: Piquepoul Noir, Ribeyrenc Noir, Morastel Noir à jus blanc and Oeillade. It offers a very refined style, an impression of dried rose and garrigue with spices lengthening the palate. A lovely silky texture." (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Clos Centeilles - Minervois La Livinière Le Clos 2016

3/5 (1 review)

"The estate's eponymous cuvée combines a complexity of flavors. A harmonious wine, suave from the start, just superb!"

"We quickly fall under the spell of its scents of thyme, rockrose and black pepper. Complex and suave, this blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre is served by a particularly fresh grain of tannin. The long, slender palate concludes with a vetiver finish that gives it a real boost" (La RVF Revue May 2024).

Château Beaufort - Minervois Vieilles Vignes rouge 2021

3.8/5 (37 reviews)

"An absolutely irresistible wine!

"Whole-cluster vinification for this Syrah and Grenache Noir duo, matured for 18 months in vats, with absolute fullness. Behind a deep color, a seductive nose, very pure and fresh, centered on black cherry. A smooth attack opens onto a rich, fat palate, backed by equally melting tannins. The long, spicy, mentholated finish is the perfect end to this powerful, velvety, harmonious Minervois, which is already irresistible but will keep for a long time. (Le Guide Hachette 2024).

Clos Centeilles - Minervois Carignanissime des Centeilles 2020

"The gourmet expression of Carignan!

A cuvée in the spirit of the South, expressing pure, concentrated fruit obtained by carbonic maceration of old Carignan. The nose is intense and clean, giving full expression to dark berries, blackcurrants, cocoa notes and aromatic herbs. The palate is dense, juicy and fresh, for instant drinkability.

3.6/5 (8 reviews)

"A must in the appellation

"A cuvée accustomed to honors (several times Favorite) that maintains its good reputation in 2019 and its lively style. On the nose, ripe fruit, thyme and garrigue. On the palate, fatness, beautiful spices, melted tannins, a silky texture and a preserved freshness that gives a lot of drive and elegance to the whole. A must of the appellation". (Le Guide Hachette 2023)

Domaine de Courbissac - Minervois Roc du Pière 2019

3/5 (2 reviews)

A blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre, it emanates greedy aromas of gingerbread, evolving towards jammy black fruits. The palate is generous, with fine tannins. A bitterness emerges at the end, notably through the flavor of licorice. A fine cuvée for laying down, which will improve with age!

Domaine de Courbissac - Minervois Roc Suzadou 2020

4.5/5 (2 reviews)

"Grand Minervois!"

Roc Suzadou is still in its youth, with a particularly explosive, charming nose of flowers and perfectly ripe fruit. On the palate, this wine has fine balance and particularly silky tannins. The finish shows a lovely minerality. Finesse, precision and beautiful fruit!

Château Sainte-Madeleine - Minervois Réserve 2020

3.9/5 (16 reviews)

"All the generosity and fragrance of ripe Syrah vinified in carbonic maceration in this enticing cuvée. Its dense color augurs a rich, concentrated nose imbued with blackcurrant and morello cherry. The same voluptuousness emanates from a palate that's as fat as you'd wish, without being flabby, with fine, crisp tannins. Lively finish of fresh fruit and sweet spices. Power, elegance, gourmandise: "it's all there", enthuse the tasters.(Le Guide Hachette 2023)

Château d'Oupia - Minervois Les Barons 2017

3/5 (5 reviews)

A fine representative of Minervois with a deep garnet color, very expressive and intense on the nose, distilling ripe fruit aromas with a pleasant woody touch. Round and powerful on the palate, with a velvety structure and great elegance. A perfect match for jugged hare!

Clos Centeilles - Clos Centeilles 2015

"The estate's eponymous cuvée

"Notes of cherry and blond tobacco, the palate is suave with a subtle spicy relief." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF) Cuvée Clos Centeilles shows all that the terroir of Cru Minervois-la-Livinière can express in a blend of predominantly Mourvèdre, complemented by Syrah- Grenache. The wine reveals itself with power and finesse. Complex, concentrated flavors on the nose and palate: camphorated, mentholated notes on a base of explosive black fruits. A harmonious wine, suave from the start, just superb!

Clos Centeilles - Campagne de Centeilles 2017

4/5 (2 reviews)

"The soul of the estate

Patricia Boyer-Domergue considers Cinsault to be the noblest grape variety in Languedoc, in the same way as Pinot Noir in Burgundy. Vinified like a great red wine for laying down, it expresses all its elegance and finesse thanks to a masterful process. The palate is delicate and silky, with crisp, spicy and garrigue notes. A must-have from the estate!
