Chateau La Condamine’s 2017 Corbieres Rouge is impossibly good. It is the sort of wine that reminds us all of what we are looking for in a great glass of red. The fruit is exceptionally ripe and yet the wine retains a savory edge that evokes a sense of harmony that must be tasted to be believed. Flamboyant scents of creme de violet, nag champa, candied cherries, and warm tar leap from the glass like a dancer diving into her partners waiting embrace. The palate is wonderfully black and hearty with a stern edge that, with coaxing, yields stunning layers of blueberry jam, cassis liqueur, and fresh pomegranate juice. 100 year old Carignan vines deliver the kind of minerality on the finish that most Napa vintners would kill to achieve in their Cabernets while sultry hints of cigar box and black olive crash into vibrant peppery spice creating a scene that is reminiscent of storm clouds gathering over the foothills in the afternoon. Velvety tannin lingers between sips and reinforces the savory character of the finish, just begging for a bite of food. There is no question that, as good as it is, the 2017 Condamine is getting better every day and should continue to improve in bottle over the next 18 months or so. Please swing by the shop this evening to taste this stunning Red for free at our tasting bar. What a treat!
Food Pairing:
Corbiers is not a region known for producing profound wines. As such it is typically served with simple meals from cured meats and cheeses to slow simmered sauces. It will accompany grilled foods perfectly and should also work flawlessly with classic bistro fare like steak frites, duck confit, or beef bourguignon. Seriously, folks, this is the “house red” to buy. It will not disappoint.
