Château Guillem de Montjustin Corbieres 2023

Just across a small country road from Boutenac, where renowned French winemaker Gérard Bertrand makes his £50+ a bottle Corbières, is the village of Fabrezan. It boasts equally impressive, stony vineyards. It's where, in fact, Tony Laithwaite bought his first Corbières in 1971. Today young couple Amelie and Jean Baptiste work tirelessly, tending their ancient vines and making their cru quality Corbières. The vines were planted by J-B's great grandfather and are around a century old, but until this young couple took over, all the grapes were sold to the local coop. J-B and Amelie took over in 2007, pieced together a tiny shed winery and, with the help of Mamy and Papy, starting making their own wine. This fabulous red is the result.
