Information

Minervois is a red wine from the Minervois region in the Languedoc-Roussillon area of France. It has a deep garnet color and a rich, fruity flavor profile. The nose reveals aromas of dark fruit, such as blackberry and cherry, with hints of spice and herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied with smooth tannins and flavors of ripe berries, black pepper, and a touch of earthiness. Minervois pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, sausages, and rich stews.
