What a stunning example of Minervois La Touge from Chateau Maris is. It's a medium bodied cru level red wine made exclusively from Syrah and Grenache using biodynamic techniques which delivers an individuality we love to see from Southern French wines. La Touge has open and expressive aromas of ripe black fruits along with more spicy pepper and herbs. The taste is of spicy dark fruits, ground pepper, wild herbs, and hints of olive to go with a medium bodied, rich palate feel. This wines always gets rated above the magic 90 points by everyone who has tried it. It's no wonder, it really is classy and will work brilliantly well with any hearty red meat meal, but our fave is seared loin of lamb with herby lentils.
