Famille Fabre Vin de France Lux Levis 2022
Nestled in the heart of Corbieres, the village of Luc-sur-Orbieu is home to about 1,000 people, a smattering of restaurants and guest houses, and – just a block off the Rue des Vignerons – the winery Famille Fabre, one of the first fully organic wineries in Corbieres. The family makes a wide range of red and white wines at generally easy-to-digest prices, and everything they make is some kind of savory. This Lux Levis cuvee is a rarity, 100% Cinsault, a grape generally relegated to the “other native grapes” section of a cepage listing. On the rare occasion this vine is allowed to get to 65 years old, it can produce a wine of stunning complexity, balance, and savor. The aromas are of all the ingredients for an herb rub on standing rib roast: rosemary, thyme, mint, lavender, and oregano. There’s black olive tapenade, eucalyptus, and blackberry jam too. The palate is medium bodied, with appealing tension, rough cut tannins, and jammy notes of blackberry, cherry, and marmalade that return to an earthy, clay lined finish.
