Domaine Alain Chabanon Merle aux Alouettes Montpeyroux 2001The ProducerAlain is based at Lagamas, and has vineyard holdings around the village of Montpeyroux in the Languedoc. (His domaine was originally entitled Domaine Font Caude, but he has now changed this to Domaine Alain Chabanon). His wines undergo long macerations, with a minimum of four to five weeks for all varieties. Yields are very low. His red wines receive two years ageing in wood. Alain has Grenache, Merlot, Syrah and Mourvèdre in red varietals, and Chenin Blanc in white.The WineIt could be easy to be fooled by the Vin de Table label on this wine but it is an iconic wine from southern France. This blend of Merlot , Syrah and Carignan is dense, firm, tarry and spicy. Lots of structure and some warmth. Ripe fruit on the nose. The palate is midweight and quite elegant with some chalky minerality and good acidity. Very good/excellent 91/100
Single Bottle: £25.00
In a case of 12: £23.75
