Minervois
Originally named Pagus Minerbensis by the Romans in 843, this region is a formation of gently sloping vineyards that form an amphitheater around the southern edge of the Montagne Noire. The clay/stony soils of the area make it prone to producing deep and bold reds. While the region's whites and rosés remain more of a local affair, the reds offer a variety of styles and patterns that make them an excellent choice, especially given their relatively low retail prices.
White wines are mainly made from Grenache Banc, Maccabeu and Vermentino. Reds and rosés should mainly contain the typical Languedoc red varieties Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan, but other grapes can also be added to the blends. In general, the red wines have a deep, inky black color with violet reflections and expressive aromas of ripe dark berries, along with light spices, toast and violet notes. The wines are also full and powerfully structured. Altogether, these elements ensure that the wines are an archetypal, cultured and polished Languedoc red.
At Grandcruwijnen, we think it is important that people can find their preferred flavor. That is why we came up with the idea of the sample box. This does not just consist of a number of wines, but of themed wines specially selected by our vinologists. With the sample boxes you can try different wines and find your own taste.

All of our sample boxes have a number of things in common, mainly that they are all (international) class wines and that they are extra competitively priced. A document with all wine descriptions and a table for making tasting notes is added to each test box. What could be more fun than selecting your favorite wine in this way together with friends and / or family.
