Rex Mundi Cuvée Cathare 2016

Deep, dark and dangerously easily to drink, Rex Mundi Special Edition is a beguiling black beauty. It was created by Parker rated winemaker Hervé Sabardeil, whose lavish elixirs have been enchanting us for over a decade. Like his standard Rex Mundi, the grapes are Grenache and Carignan, but they come from the very oldest vines - some over 100 years in age - and from the finest slate soils of Maury in the Roussillon. As you might imagine yields are minute, which accounts for the depth of colour and intensity of flavour. Hervé aged half the wine in oak cask for six months to lend a luxurious layer of complexity. This is a powerful red, beautifully balanced and terrifically long. Slips down nicely on its own, or with your finest game dishes.
