Majas Cortado Rouge1.5L

Domaine de Majas is run by Alain and Agnes Carrère. The 30 hectare domain is located in the Roussillon by the village Caudiès de Fenouillèdes. Tom Lubbe from nearby Domaine Matassa helped to change into organic cultivation. The vineyards are at 350-400 meters’ height in slopes with good exposure and drenage. We see around 120 year old vines of carignan, grenache noir and macabeu, and younger (30-35 years) of syrah, cabernet franc, merlot, rolle and chardonnay. The climate is affected by the nearness of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean sea.

Rouge Cotes is an organic wine made from Carignan, Grenache, and is a fresh and lively southern red. The red Majas, a Carignan/Grenache blend from 20-120 year old vines is a delightful surprise. Limpid red this shiny wine has lifted aromas of ripe blueberry and red cherries as well as supporting notes of herbs and crushed stones. The fruit carries on all the way supported by pleasing acidity, minerals and a lovely raw, natural crunch.
