What kind of winemaker ages their red wine 200 metres underground in a river running through a vast chasm beneath the mountains of Carcassonne? Sylvain Delabre does – and the result is wowing staff and customers in the UK alike. So, we wanted you to taste and enjoy Chasm de Cabrespine 2020 a bold, spiced Minervois made from handpicked parcels of Syrah and Grenache, as well.
First, part of this wine is aged in clay amphorae for deep, brooding flavours. Then bottles are left to rest at the very bottom of the chasmin the most perfect ageing conditions imaginable. No light, perfect humidity and pressure. We call it extreme cellaring.
It took four hours to retrieve a single bottle for tasting. But what emerged was something extraordinary: a rich, spiced southern French red with years of maturity delivering lovely spice and a long complex finish.
