Tasting

To the eye

A deep, intense and brilliant purple colour.

Nose

An expressive bouquet of dark fruits (blueberry, blackberry) blended with liquorice and garrigue herbs (thyme, rosemary).

Palate

The attack is full-bodied and velvety. The wine is dense yet characterised by a ‘Burgundian-style’ finesse of tannins. It is a fresh, juicy and very well-balanced wine.

Pairing

A rib of beef seasoned with Guérande salt, a braised leg of lamb or a vegetable tagine with mild spices.

Aging potential

Already a delight to drink in 2026, it can age beautifully for 8 to 10 years.

Your questions, our answers.

Could this 2024 Minervois be a good choice if I’m looking for freshness in a red wine from the Languedoc?

Yes, the vintage description highlights vibrant acidity, preserved by the cool nights of Cazelles’ high-altitude terroir. This is worth bearing in mind if freshness matters more to you than fruit expression alone.

Could the oak overpower the fruit?

The wine is partly aged in new barrels, but the stated aim is to polish the tannins without overwhelming the fruit. The oak should therefore be seen as a way to shape the texture rather than to create a dominant oaky character.

Why choose Les Fontanilles over a single-varietal red?

This wine prioritizes the complexity of a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, and Cinsault over the expression of a single grape variety. Vinifying each grape variety and plot separately makes it possible to work with these different components before blending them.

What should I look for when tasting it beyond the fruit?

The description highlights a mineral dimension linked to the limestone and sandstone soils. The vintage’s vibrant acidity and the work done to soften the tannins are two other points to consider when appreciating the wine’s balance.

What kind of tasting occasion is this wine particularly suited to?

It is well suited to a tasting focused on the influence of terroir in Languedoc reds. The limestone and sandstone soils, the cool nights in Cazelles, and the blend of four grape varieties offer several ways to discuss what shapes its profile.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
