SAINTE LUCIE D’AISSOU BELLA DAMA AOC CORBIÈRES BOUTENAC 2016 ($28)

From a 40 ha domaine dating from 1869, passionately stewarded by the dynamic Jean-Paul Serres. A blend of Carignan (50%) and Grenache (50%). Allowing the grapes to hang just past ripeness rewards with vibrant red fruit up front, before a plush, layered and textured palate with elegant mouthfeel defined by supple and well-integrated tannins.
