Wine from Corbieres
Filter
Corbieres is one of the largest appellations in France and is divided into eleven territories including Lezignan, Boutenac, Sigean, and Lagrasse. These terroirs mainly produce red wines with 50% of the wine being made from Carignan grapes. These red wines are spicy and rich with full body, and fruit flavors. Previously, Corbieres was known for uncomplicated and cheap red wines. The best wine produced in the region can now hold their own with classic French vintages from Burgundy and Bordeaux. The arid region has been growing grapes since Roman times and at the height of summer, the deep black vine stocks still manage to conserve their parasols of lush green leaves by drawing water underground and shading the bunches of ripening grapes beneath. Cypress trees provide shade and windbreak. Soils can differ from one hillside to the next, which results in a diversity of wines. 80% of wines produced in Corbieres are red with the remaining 20% split between rose and white. Because of the geography and size, Corbieres has a huge range of microclimates and soil types.

Gaja Ca'Marcanda 'Camarcanda' Bolgheri is made from 70% Cabernet Sauvignon & 30% Cabernet Franc .
Color : Deep garnet.Aroma : Initial aromas evoke violet, cassis, dark licorice and a spicy note of black pepper, leading to undertones of aromatic herbs, incense, dried rose petals, clove and cedar.Taste : Sleek and intense on entry with elegant herbal, light black pepper and cassis flavors on the mid palate.
Review:
After Bolgheri’s torrid and parched 2017 growing season, more moder-ate conditions in 2018 brought the vines and their wines shimmering to life. All of the wines at Ca’Marcanda fermented spontaneously in 2018, which Gaia Gaja attributes to the balance in the musts. This wine, a blend of cabernets sauvignon and franc, is taut and energetic, its flavors of crunchy plum and blackberry laced with notes of licorice, tobacco and graphite.

The Ca' Marcanda estate does not make a Bolgheri Superiore, although this bottle would qualify as such. The 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and you definitely feel those full-throttle varietal aromas with big intensity and clarity. Spicy greenness comes forward as grilled rosemary and lavender essence, but the wine boasts nice depth and dimension, and enough textual richness to smooth it all out. This was a slightly cooler vintage with some sporadic rain showers throughout the summer. These conditions might explain the sharper side of those Cabernet aromas. As the wine moves over the palate, it reveals more substantial aromas of black fruit, spice and baker's chocolate. This vintage is slightly thinner than the hot 2017 expression before it and the classic 2016. However, this wine should certainly play forward positively in terms of its aging potential.
-Wine Advocate 95 Points
Dense and fluid at once, this red delivers plum, black cherry, licorice, olive, bay leaf and spice flavors. Ripe and balanced, with a lingering, spicy, tobacco-tinged aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2033. 1,500 cases made, 225 cases imported. — BS
