Benjamin feels that many of the wines in the Minervois AOC are too concentrated and alcoholic, and works hard to make wines that, while full flavored, are lighter, fresher, and lower in alcohol than most average wines from the Languedoc. Indeed, there is a level of liveliness in his wines that you seldom see in the wines of the region, Benjamin is happily introducing people to the concept of Minervois "vin de soif".

This is a pleasing, no brainer, medium bodied red. Aromatics and palate are filled with fruity notes of ripe black cherry, dark fruit and smooth tannins.
