Domaine de Courbissac

The benefits of Marc Tempe’s biodynamic farming practices are really beginning to show through with increasing acidity and complexity.

Domaine de Courbissac 2004 Minervois (Cesseras)
Rich, round, peppery, spicy with ripe tannins well integrated. A big wine, but plenty of acidity. Pleasing minerality and a hint of earthiness. Finish is pleasantly warm, but this is the hot South of France. 70-75% Carignan balanced with syrah and cinsault.

Domaine de Courbissac 2004 Pandora
Round, well balanced, with sweet, firm tannins; Big perfume from 3 months of skin contact. Notes of black pepper, cassis, wildberries and oil-cured olive with balanced acidity. Drinks like a wine twice its prices and shows great aging potential. 50% Grenache balanced with syrah and carignan.

Domaine de Courbissac 2004 Orphee
Mouvedre, syrah, grenache and a little carignan. Intense, deep purple color.  Chewy wine with truffle notes and rich cassis undertones. Amazingly fresh for such a big wine- the acidity is nearly mouth-wateringly juicy.
