Domaine Boucabeille Les Orris Rouge 2022
The wines of the Boucabeille estate are produced mainly on the Forca real hill 15 km northwest of Perpignan. It promotes biodiversity around the vine by planting forest and scrubland but also creates ponds and places dozens of beehives. The Forca real hill is made up of slate schists that date back 450 million years.
The schist allows the vine to penetrate deep in order to find all the elements it needs (water and minerals). The altitude of the vines (505 meters) brings freshness. This terroir also brings roundness and length in the mouth, as well as a lot of finesse and complex aromas.
Les Orris, an evocative name, evoking the old stone shelters of the shepherds, this vintage sold in red and white, aims to be the standard-bearer of the estate.
One of the prettiest noses of the Orris vintage, already present from the moment it is bottled.
Intense and complex nose: aromas of fruits (prunes, figs), spices (cinnamon), licorice, black cherry, and violet. Captivating nose that will continue to express itself several days after opening.

About The Product
Les Orris, an evocative name, evoking the old stone shelters of the shepherds, this vintage sold in red and white, aims to be the standard-bearer of the estate.
One of the prettiest noses of the Orris vintage, already present from the moment it is bottled.
Intense and complex nose: aromas of fruits (prunes, figs), spices (cinnamon), licorice, black cherry, and violet. Captivating nose that will continue to express itself several days after opening.
The very balanced mouth reveals superb tannins, fruity (blackcurrant), mineral and toasted notes in the mid-palate, a lovely acidic structure and an extraordinary length. A wine that is both structured but very elegant with a very beautiful fruit. This is a wine that has undergone perfect fermentation and promises to keep for a very long time (>15 years).
94 points – James Suckling: A well-composed, precise, lively and textured blend of 70% syrah, 15% mourvedre and 15% grenache. It shows aromas of dark cherries, strawberries, roasted meat and roasted black pepper, together with some lavender and dried oregano. Medium- to full-bodied with fine tannins. It’s juicy and well-driven with purity of fruit at the succulent and vibrant center-palate. Tactile and agile with a long, flavourful and peppery finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold
Grape Varietal: 70% syrah, 15% mourvedre and 15% grenache
