Situated in the Corbières Massif, Château de Lastours spans 800 hectares, 104 hectares of which are laid out to vines planted at an altitude of 300 metres. Syrah, Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Cinsault are the varietals cultivated. Since 2004 the property has belonged to the Filhet-Allard group, a firm of insurance brokers based in Bordeaux. They have modernised production and the estate produces a beautiful range of red and white wines.

Young Carignans, Syrahs and Grenaches were blended to form this deep and ripe cuvée. After aging for one year in oak barrels and six months in stainless steel vats, the wine has an aromatic bouquet which is rich in notes of black fruit, violet and liquorice. Its well-integrated tannins give it an extremely seductive silky texture. Superb with Mediterranean cuisine.
