This is a very special edition of the big red Cabalié. Grenache and Carignan grapes from a top selection of seriously old vines lend amazing power and intensity to this red, while ageing in oak for six months brings impressive complexity.
Parker-rated winemaker Hervé Sabardeil has been making our standard Cabalié since 2001. In 2011 he crafted a special super cuvee, Cabalié Cuvée Anniversaire, to mark the 10th Anniversary with Direct Wines. Afterwards, being encouraged by positive customers’ responses, he’s been inspired to create this amazing Grand Cru edition of Cabalié, Cabalié Coup de Coeur. The grapes are Grenache and Carignan again, but they come from some of the oldest vines and from the finest slate soils of Maury in the Roussillon. As you might imagine yields are minute, which accounts for the depth of colour and intensity of flavour. Hervé then aged half of the wine in oak cask for six months to lend a luxurious layer of complexity. This is a powerful red, beautifully balanced with velvety black fruit, spice and mocha aroma. It would be ideal to pair with a rich veggie casserole.
