From La Livinière, it opens with blackcurrant, blackberry, dark plum and wild raspberry, before garrigue herbs, liquorice, cracked pepper, violet and a cool mineral note begin to rise. It feels generous, but never overworked, with ripe fruit, southern spice and a lovely sense of earth beneath it all. Château Maris lists La Touge as Syrah, Grenache and Carignan, aged for 16 months in concrete and egg-shaped vats. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"964\"\u003eThe palate is full, smooth and quietly powerful, with black fruit, cassis, savoury herbs and silky tannins carrying through to a long, mellow finish. There is plenty of richness here, but the acidity is beautifully folded in, giving lift and freshness to the darker fruit. It is Languedoc in a very polished mood: sun-warmed, herbal, mineral and deeply satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"1389\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"978\"\u003eFor when\u003c\/strong\u003e you want a red with southern French warmth, biodynamic soul and proper dinner-table comfort.\u003cbr data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1074\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1088\"\u003ePairs with\u003c\/strong\u003e roast lamb, beef rib, cassoulet, mushroom stew, grilled sausages, smoky aubergine, hard cheeses, or anything involving rosemary and fire.\u003cbr data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1229\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1251\"\u003eIf this wine were…\u003c\/strong\u003e a road, it would be the winding track into La Livinière at dusk, lined with garrigue, warm stone and the scent of black fruit in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1798\"\u003eChâteau Maris is one of the Languedoc’s most environmentally focused producers, based in Minervois La Livinière and closely associated with biodynamic farming.
