Château de Pennautier Cabardès, produced by Maison Lorgeril in the foothills of the Montagne Noire near Carcassonne, is a beautifully structured red blend that reflects the unique character of the Cabardès appellation – where Mediterranean warmth meets Atlantic freshness. This expressive wine opens with aromas of black cherry, cassis, and violet, layered with hints of cedar, pepper, and spice. On the palate, the Château de Pennautier Cabardès is full-bodied yet refined, offering ripe plum and blackberry flavours supported by smooth tannins and a touch of minerality. The blend of Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Merlot creates wonderful balance and complexity. Perfect with grilled lamb, roast duck, or aged cheeses, it’s a versatile food wine with real depth. Elegant and modern in style, this red showcases Lorgeril’s mastery of blending and terroir expression – a superb introduction to the sophisticated reds of southern France.
