Cuvee Guy Roger

2012 Corbieres 50% Mourvedre/25% Grenache/25% Carignan

Domaine Du Grand Planal Cuvee Guy Roger is a delightful red wine hailing from the picturesque Corbières region. This blend is composed of fifty percent Mourvèdre, complemented by twenty-five percent Grenache and twenty-five percent Carignan, creating a harmonious expression of southern French terroir. The wine showcases a medium body that elegantly balances its bright acidity, making it incredibly food-friendly. The tannins are notable yet soft, providing a delightful structure without overwhelming the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing rich dark fruit flavors, intertwined with spicy notes and hints of herbal complexity, all wrapped in a refreshingly dry finish. This vintage from 2012 offers a beautifully crafted experience, perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for deeper development.

Region:


Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon

France's oldest and largest winemaking region, the Languedoc-Roussillon stretches around the sun-kissed Mediterranean from Roussillon to Provence. Taking in everything from rugged mountain slopes to breezy coastline, this vast region features various climates and terroirs. Outside of its famous AOCs like Minervois, Corbières and Saint-Chinian, many Languedoc wines are made in the less restrictive IGP classification, in particular the Pays d'Oc. There are many wine styles made in Languedoc, but full-bodied reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault are the most common. For summer drinking, look to its fruity rosé, rounded Chardonnay and zingy Picpoul. You will often find grape varieties stated on the label of Languedoc's IGP wines, an uncommon practice in much of France.
