This exceptional organic wine, in a heavyweight bottle which matches the powerful fruit flavours of the wine. It comes from the highly-regarded Cru of La Liviniere in the Minervois. Located 30 km from Carcassonne, the domain is nestled in the foothills of the Montagne Noire and was purchased by Les Grands Chais De France in 2011.
