Jean-Marie Rimbert "Les Travers de Marceau" Saint-Chinian, France NV

15% Carignan, 50% Syrah, 15% Cinsaut, and 20% Mourvèdre

The domaine’s first red wine named after Rimbert’s son Marceau, born during the very first harvest at the new estate. Challenging beginnings, great results: this wine is what Jean-Marie calls “the best quality-price-pleasure ratio” — a supple and yummy wine ready for all kinds of fun, and especially delicious chilled.

Ruby in the glass with purple highlights. The nose is packed with crushed red berry, plum, blueberry and notes of saddle leather backed by crushed stones. The palate is supple as it delivers red and black fruit flavors backed by silken minerality and a deft touch of acidity.

Serve with grilled meats, aged cheeses, hearty stews and spicy pasta dishes.
