Description

A southern French blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan from marl, sandstone and clay-limestone terraces in Minervois, the Chateau de la Negly Ambrine 2022 opens with a vivid, deep purple and a nose that combines red and sour cherry, blackberry and dried spices with a savoury tapenade note that gives it real southern character. On the palate it is elegant and lively, medium-bodied with fine, well-managed tannins and a zesty, citrus-edged finish that keeps things fresh. Fermented in concrete and aged for six months without oak, this is an honest, food-friendly wine that wears its terroir lightly and drinks beautifully now alongside something robustly flavoured from the region's table.
