Chateau Ollieux Romanis 2022 Prestige Rouge

This wine hails from the Cru Boutenac vineyard zone within the Corbières appellation in the Languedoc region, on soils of red Mediterranean pudding-stone over sandstone and limestone. The 2022 blend is typically about 40 % Carignan, 30 % Syrah, 20 % Mourvèdre and 10 % Grenache.

On the nose you’ll find ripe black fruits — blackberry, blackcurrant — combined with Mediterranean garrigue herbs, licorice, cocoa-and-spice (clove, cinnamon) and hints of leather or smoked meat. On the palate it is full-bodied and structured with a polished texture: smooth yet firm tannins, dark fruit core, touches of tobacco and graphite minerality, finishing with savory spice and lingering earthy-herb tones.
