2019 Domaine de Gournier Rouge, Cévennes

The Cévennes is a mountainous region on the eastern edge of the Massif Central. The vineyards here benefit from both Mediterranean sunshine and mountain freshness. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, this has a deep ruby colour, aromas being perfumed and pure, recalling cassis and ripe plums. This is a medium bodied, well-concentrated wine that is full of fruit and charm, with just the right balance of fresh tannins to keep the finish lively.
