2020 Quadratur, Coume del Mas, Collioure

This brilliant red blend, which combines Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Carignan (from 100 year old vines no less) is a real cut above. It comes from enterprising Roussillon estate in a region more often associated with sweet and fortified wines (Banyuls lies a stone's throw away). This red is rich and gourmand, with creamy tannins and a smooth length. However, it remains impressively understated. There is no effortful embellishment. It's simply the result of beautifully handled extraction and elevage techniques which deliver a delicious red with the structure and body you'd expect, but none of the rustic edges you'd fear. Coume del Mas’s wines exemplify the terrific quality of still dry wines now emerging from this region.

Coume del Mas

This 15 hectare domaine clings to the steep slopes around Banyuls sur Mer, as France dips down into Spain, on the Mediterranean coast. From this challenging terroir Philippe and Nathalie Gard craft precise and elegant wines. No tractors can reach these vineyards that are wedged between the mountains and the sea, so all the vineyard work is done by hand or by horse. In a region with a long history of fortified sweet wines, Coume del Mas is an outstanding voice for the quality of still dry wines emerging from this part of the Roussillon.
