This is a really interesting wine for so many reasons. It's contained in an extremely expensive bottle with a decidedly untraditional French premium wine label. [it doesn't come with the stain down the side - that was our clumsiness] It's from the Corbieres-Boutenac Appellation that's set itself up as a cut above the average Languedoc in which it sits.
And it's a quadruple blend of Mouvedre, Shiraz, Grenache and Carignan with a hefty 14% a/v. We road tested it over 3 days and while it opened with plenty of near block busting promise there just wasn't the evolution we hope for in a young red.
20 euro from Cave L'Avant Garde Margaux
3/5 Rating from me
