La Miche Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

Pays d’Oc, France

La Miche Cabernet Sauvignon is our latest new discovery of a great value red from the Languedoc in southwestern France. Farmed in the hills around the medieval walled city of Carcassonne (a UNESCO world heritage site), this wine is crafted at the Vignobles d'Alaric, a high-quality co-op whose members work their vineyards with respect for the environment. The cooperative works with 1,300 hectares of vineyards located across more than 20 communes between Corbières and Minervois, with a mosaic of limestone terraces, clay-limestone slopes, gravelly alluvial plains, and pockets of sandstone.

La Miche Cabernet Sauvignon is vinified in a mix of concrete and steel tanks, finished at 14% alcohol. La Miche carries its HVE3 certification for sustainability on its label; it is also certified by Terra Vitis. Medium-bodied, low in tannins, and fabulously ripe, like a bowlful of ripe cherries with a kick of kirsch and warm spices, it's smooth on the palate and true to its deep French roots. There are fewer and fewer values like this in the wine world. Grab this one while you can!

Enjoy La Miche Cabernet Sauvignon over the next 4-6 years with daube Provençal, spare ribs, burgers, rich vegetarian dishes, and hard cheeses.
