Cabalié Cuvée Vieilles Vignes (magnum) 2023
Pays d'Oc IGP
Loading...
Cabalié is one of our best-loved ‘BIG reds’, and this special cuvée in magnums packs an even bigger punch. Seriously ol- vine Carignan gives a boost of inky dark fruit and spice to soft, red berry Grenache in this impressively rich, velvety red.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Story Behind the Bottle
Hervé Sabardeil, our winemaker with limitless talent, has been making Cabalié, the big, ripe Catalan red, for over 15 years. He added the old vine (Vieilles Vignes) edition in 2011, originally as a one off, but it was so popular we insisted he did it again. And again! The magic to this punchy red is really in the vines. At 60 to 100 years old, yields are minute (about half of a Grand Cru claret). As a rule of thumb, the smaller the yield, the more concentrated the fruit, the more flavoursome the wine! That’s why we call it Cabalié’s Big Brother. Still made in the same style that was beloved by the Roman centurions and now our customers too, it packs even more flavour than the original. Ideal with garlic-roasted lamb, rich stews or cheese.
