Château Capion, Le Chemin des Garennes Rouge, Terrasses du

91
Tasted by: Andrew Jefford
(at Aniane, 22 Apr 2018)
Drinking Window: 2018 - 2023
A blend of 37% Syrah with 25% Grenache, 23% Cinsault and 15% Mourvèdre. The unoaked Garennes Rouge is deep black-red in colour, with rich, vibrant fruit aromas of plum, blackcurrant and blackberry, combined with a clean, savoury intrigue. The palate is concentrated, deep and vivid, with great purity of fruit and Capion’s hallmark lively acidity: a fresh, pristine, juicy yet complex red from fastidiously sorted fruit, beautifully packaged and offering terrific value for money.
