From old vines shaped like goblets, the wine has a unique personality, talking about fruit, live soil and harmony. A pure, fresh delight, naïve but with strong convictions.Elegant aromas of red fruits (pomegranate, cherry) and wild Mediterranean herbs. The medium-bodied mouthfeel seduces by its freshness, its roundness, its juicy and vibrant character. This wine floats in the mouth, is delicately smooth and has an incredibly long finish. Beautiful wine!Critics’ Tasting Notes:”Garrigue and mushroom aromas enliven the plum and raspberry elements on the nose of this bottling. Supple tannins and cranberry and strawberry flavors meet with savory spice characteristics on the palate. The finish is generous with notes of spice.”93/100 points, Wine Enthusiast, July 2023Also awarded “Gold” at the Mundus Vini.The Wine Spectator magazine acknowledged Château Maris’ direct action to combat climate change by naming the estate as one of the “five most environmentally friendly wineries in the world”.Food pairing: Cured ham, gratin dauphinois, beetroot and walnut salad.Chateau Maris Naive Grenache, Minervois, Languedoc-Roussillon, France, 2020</p>
