Cabernet Merlot 2022

Bright red colour. Fine and fruity nose reminiscent of red berries (black currant notes) and liquorices aromas. Its palate is round and powerful yet elegant.

Enjoy with meats including beef, lamb and pork, but would also work well with chicken or other savoury dishes.

Best served at 15 – 18°C.

Guillaume and his sister Marion inherited the estate from their parents in 1985, and they are now joined by his son Guillaume in working the land. Together they are the 6th and 7th generations of Alliès making wine at Reine Juliette.

The 100 hectare vineyard is situated on the southern side of the contemporary A9 highway, which historically was the renowned Via Domitia, connecting Italy to Spain. This ancient road played a pivotal role in the expansion of viticulture in the Languedoc region. Interestingly, the Via Domitia was also affectionately known as "via Reine Juliette" in honour of a queen who once traversed its path. Given its proximity to this historic route, the estate was aptly named after this illustrious queen. This future involves a commitment to higher quality, reduced yields, and a more conscientious approach to vineyard work, ensuring the continued excellence of their wines.
