2022 'Les Petits Pins' Côtes du Roussillon Villages, Dom Brial
Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Opulent and refined, with ripe red berries, cooked fruit and a gentle whiff of spice, complemented by fresh mineral overtones and a lovely garrigue character on the richly fruited palate, through to a satisfying finish.
The Côtes du Roussillon Villages appellation sits in the amphitheatre-shaped topography of the region, which is open to the Mediterranean on one side and surrounded by three mountain ranges: the Corbières to the north, the Pyrenees to the west, and the Albères to the south.

Dom Brial is a cooperative of passionate producers who are following the footsteps of Dom Brial, a Benedictine monk, who was born in Roussillon. Established in 1923, the winery was created with the philosophy of ‘Together We Are Stronger’, in response to the Phylloxera crisis that devastated many vineyards in the Roussillon. Today, the dynamic cooperative represents 247 winegrowers who cultivate the mosaic of diverse terroirs. Pioneers of sustainable development, Dom Brial covers 1,700 hectares which has been certified since 2007 as ‘Sustainable Winegrowing’ and they have been awarded the HVE Level 3 certification. The estate also includes 200 hectares of organically farmed vineyard. Dom Brial is also renowned for its fine wines from Château les Pins, located in the AOC Côtes du Roussillon Villages; a 28-hectare estate located in the heart of the village that was bequeathed by one of the growers to the winery. Dom Brial produces a range of traditional wines, which showcase this striking region.
The grapes were fermented with selected yeasts with gentle extraction methods to imbue the wine with the desired levels of flavour, tannins and colour. The wine spent 12 months in cask, before being bottle aged in air conditioned cellars, prior to release.
