Chateau Guillem de Montjustin Corbieres 2022

Just across a country road from Boutenac, where renowned winemaker Gérard Bertrand makes his £50+ a bottle Corbières, is the village of Fabrezan. It boasts equally impressive, stony vineyards and is where Tony Laithwaite bought his first Corbières in 1971. Today young couple Amelie and Jean Baptiste work tirelessly, tending their ancient vines, first planted by J-B’s grandfather a century ago, to make their cru quality red. Before this young couple took over the estate in 2007, all the grapes were sold to the local coop. But J-B and Amelie wanted to make the wine too, so they created a shed winery and this fabulous red is the result. Stand the bottle upright a few hours and decant carefully as the wine may have some natural sediment.
