About the Vineyard:
The Domaine de Cazaban is situated in the foothills of the “Montagne Noire” (Black Mountains), at the crossroads of the two terroirs of Ventenac and Montolieu. The property consists of 20ha. The vines are planted on fine soils of schist, clay and limestone which affords the grapes an exceptional quality and diversity of style (merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, syrah, grenache, carignan, mourvèdre for red wines and rosés ; roussanne, marsanne, vermentino, grenache gris for white wines). The Domaine has been certified organic since 2010 and then converted to Biodynamic, gaining Demeter certification in 2013. At Domaine de Cazaban harvest is 100% hand picked.
Blend:
50% Syrah, 50% Merlot
Tasting Notes:
A deep ruby colour, with a rich and aromatic palate. An expressive nose that benefits from time in carafe to fully appreciate the wide range of aromas comprising of garrigue, eucalyptus, baked fennel, morello cherry and dark chocolate characteristics. Elegant, yet richly flavored with structured, firm tannins. A beautifully rounded wine
that can be enjoyed in its youth and also benefit from some years in the cellar.
