MaximeMagnonCorbièresBlancLaBégou

This superb blend of Grenache Gris, Grenache Blanc, and Carignan Gris comes from Maxime Magnon, a very exciting, up and coming winemaker based in France’s beautiful Corbières region. His vineyards are almost entirely old vine plantings, organically and biodynamically farmed in the higher altitude sites of the Hautes-Corbières. 95/100 â€?The accumulation of old vines, healthy fruit and a deft hand really cements this wine as a true reference point for the region. This wine needs a little time in bottle to really express itself, but it’s a sure delight to drink now. Yellow apple, white blossom lemon rind fruit carve a path through the deep stony, mineral core. It’s lean, taut, with a grippy tension in the mouth, a touch of macadamia nut and a long, high-acid finish. Triumphant. â€?Natalie Earl, Decanter
