Bernard Magrez 6 Vents Minervois, 2019

6 Vents, a blend of Grenache and Syrah, hails from Bernard Magrez's Minervois vineyards, situated in the Languedoc Roussillon region. Thriving on stony limestone plateaus and deep sandstone marl altitudes, the vines benefit from the renowned winds that sweep through Minervois, minimizing disease pressure and allowing for minimal intervention in vineyard management. This wine, aptly named after the prevalent winds, represents the excellence of the 2019 vintage, offering a dark garnet hue and a palate rich in spicy, smoky, and savory notes, complemented by beautifully coated tannins.

Bernard Magrez's 6 Vents Minervois exemplifies the superb value often found in this region, where some of the finest wines in the South of France originate. The Wine Scholar Guild praises the 2019 vintage, and 6 Vents goes beyond mere excellence, delivering an exceptional tasting experience.
