WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine de Courbissac Les Traverses Minervois is a red wine produced by Domaine de Courbissac, a family-owned winery located in the Minervois appellation of Languedoc, France. The wine is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan, grown on vineyards with low yields and clay-limestone soils. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected, fermented with indigenous yeast, then aged in concrete tanks for 6 months. The resulting wine is medium-bodied with notes of dark fruit, black pepper, and spices, with a long, smooth finish. It is an excellent representation of the Minervois appellation and a great value for the price.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine de Courbissac

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
