Minervois Les Traverses Courbissac (Domaine de) 2015

The wine

Cuvée des Traverses is produced from the property's younger vines and the result is sharp and structured. Young Brunnhilde Claux, who runs the domain, creates wines in her own image – ebullient and delicate. This Minervois pairs wonderfully with red meats and strong cheeses.

About the Producer Courbissac

The Courbissac domain would not exist had two friends not met: film producer Reinhard Brundig and grower Marc Tempé, well known in Alsace. Their partnership took root in La Livinière, between the Cévennes and the Montagne Noire. We are in the Minervois, a region that has come to embody the rise in quality of the Languedoc vineyards. The climate is ideal, combining the necessary sunshine with damp, cool nights. Marc Tempé intends this new domain to comply with biodynamic principles, his philosophy being to revive the soil. Manual harvesting and cellar sorting also speak of his wonderfully pure respect for the vines.
