Chateau Massiac 'Sentinelle de Massiac' - Red Blend

This is a 2020 red wine blend from Minervois, Languedoc - Roussillon, France. It consists of 66% Syrah and 34% Carignan. Chateau Massiac has a rich history that goes back to the Roman Empire, with the nearby port of Narbonne (30 kilometers) as an important access point. The 'Sentinelle' cuvée features supple tannins and riper fruit, resulting in a fruit - forward and less rustic flavor. It's certified organic, offering notes of dark cherry, rich red raspberry, and a hint of spicy, earthy leather. It pairs perfectly with Quiche Lorraine.

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour. Just uncork the bottle and let it sit. Pour it into a wine glass, hold it up to the light to admire its beautiful color, and then take a gentle sniff to enjoy the wonderful aroma. When it comes to food pairing, as mentioned, it goes great with Quiche Lorraine, but you can also try it with other savory pastries or grilled meats. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, keep it in the fridge and consume it within 2 - 3 days for the best taste.
