Maxime Magnon "Rozeta" Corbières, Languedoc, France 2017

The Maxime Magnon Corbières Rozeta is a field blend of approximately 40% Carignan, 30% Grenache, and 30% Cinsault. Depending on the vintage, the blend can also include small amounts of Syrah, Grenache Gris, Macabou, and Terret.

Certain combinations of grape and terroir (Gamay in Beaujolais being the foremost example) seem particularly well suited to carbonic maceration, providing wines with a distinct sense of place in addition to the hedonistic easy-drinking appeal the technique is intended to achieve.

In the rugged hills of the Hautes-Corbières, Maxime Magnon has discovered the right formula for his old vines of Carignan, Grenache, and Cinsault. These vines are 50-60 years old. 

The Rozeta features the exuberant, inviting perfume and velvety wild fruit we expect from a wine that underwent 100% whole-cluster fermentation, then finishes with a crunchy backbone reminiscent of dark schist and roasted spices.
