Chateau Fabre Gasparets Boutenac 2017. 56% Carignan, 20% Syrah/Shiraz, and 24% Mourvèdre. Chateau Fabre Gasparets hails from Boutenac, a prestigious sub-region of Corbières in southern France's Languedoc wine country. Structured red wines from the rocky, sun-drenched slopes of the Mediterranean foothills. The 2017 vintage showcases a powerful blend dominated by Carignan, with supporting notes of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Expect a wine of depth and character—dark fruit flavors of blackberry and plum, layered with earthy undertones, subtle spice, and hints of garrigue. The Carignan provides structure and grip, while the Syrah adds richness and the Mourvèdre contributes complexity and aging potential. This is a wine built for food pairing with the minerality and tannin backbone characteristic.
