Description:
La Forge itself is a terroir of 4 hectares in the heart of the Boutenac region of Corbieres. The high quality of this area has been recognized with the current appointment of a new appellation, Corbieres Boutenac, which sets it apart from the rest of the Corbieres. What is so extraordinary about this terroir? Its decomposed clay and limestone soil, covered with pebbles and gravel, dates back to the Miocene period, and allows an exceptionally long lifespan for the vines . The poor soil with limited fertility forces the vines' roots to grow deep in search of sustenance (6 x 75 cl)

Domaines Gerard Bertrand DOMAINE DE VILLEMAJOU Corbieres-Boutenac Description: The terroir of Corbieres Boutenac is composed of decomposed clay and limestone soil, covered with pebbles and gravel, allowing a long lifespan for the vines. The Domaine de Villemajou comprises 90 hectares of south and south-east facing vineyards in the terroir of Boutenac, renowned as the best area of the Corbieres appellation. The clay and limestone gravelly stones heat up in the daytime and then reflect the heat onto the vines at night. Winemaking on the domaine dates back to Roman times when it was named the Villa Major meaning the big villa which then housed the emperor Avitus. It is the oldest winemaking property in the Corbieres where pieces of Roman vases and other antiquities are frequently dug up in the vineyards. The varieties are old Carignan , Grenache , Syrah and Mourvedre while the grapes are picked by hand and placed in cement vats for carbonic maceration and thereafter into oak for maturation. Black fruits dominate as berries and cherries, backed up by liquorice, vanilla, balsamic aromas and masses of sweet spice. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £77.68
