About This Wine

Chanmé Méchant

Grenache

Roussillon has a strong independent identity as the lone county of Catalonia still in France. The Catalan spirit and pride are nowhere more apparent than in the vineyards. The region is famous for producing great wines, and it is this Catalan styling and great soil that makes it stand out from northern wines. The Chanmé Méchant Grenache is a classic coastal wine. It’s full-bodied with a decently high amount of alcohol. The fruit notes play off of the Mediterranean flowers and herbs. Fun fact: this mix of rosemary, juniper, lavender, and thyme is also called garrigue. Judges loved it at the 2018 Critics Challenge and sent it home with 90 Points and a Gold Medal.

Wine Region

Côtes Catalanes

Nudging the French border with Spain, Côtes Catalanes is one of the Languedoc-Roussillon region's most interesting wine-producing areas. While some white and rosé wines are made here, the vast majority of its output is juicy reds with deliciously intense flavors of black and red berries. Many local and international grapes are permitted in these easy-drinking table wines, but most common are peppery Syrah, spicy Carignan and fruity Grenache. The hot, dry Mediterranean days mean grapes have a concentrated flavor while cooling sea and mountain breezes keep plenty of refreshing acidity in the finished wines.

Strong jammy notes with a full body and a high alcohol content—this is a robust red wine with subtle notes of Mediterranean herbs and spices. Pair this with rich meats as they come off the grill.
