Halfway between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean sea, the Queribus Cathar castle ‘KERBUCCIO’, set on a steep cliff, overlooks the valley and the mosaic of our vineyard.
I named this wine after a famous, crumbling castle that dominates the vineyard where these grapes are grown. My aim was to create a dense and seamless wine with flavors or black cherries and violets, with an exotic and spicy finish. Perfect to sip on its own or with grilled steak or lamb- Winemaker's notes Jean-Marc Lafage

A blend of 65% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre from black-schist soils, the 2020 Maury Sec Château Saint-Roch Kerbuccio is a terrific effort, marked by scents of cracked pepper and menthol, crushed stone, black cherries, black olives and black licorice. And yes, it's dark-hued as well. Medium to full-bodied, it's concentrated and intense but silky in feel, with a long, elegant finish. It's a terrific value in a hearty, but ready-to-drink red.
