Cuvée Renaissance

2003 Corbieres Red Blend

Dominique De Fontenelles Cuvée Renaissance is a captivating Red Blend hailing from the picturesque Corbières region. This vintage offers a rich and full-bodied experience that envelops the palate with a harmonious balance of flavors. Its acidity is bright and refreshing, complementing the wine's generous fruit intensity, which is prominent with notes of dark berries and plum. The tannins are notable yet well integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the wine's elegant profile. This delightful blend is distinctly dry, allowing its complex aromas and flavors to shine through, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or an enjoyable sip on its own.

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.
