Château Massamier la Mignarde 2004 Domus Maximus Red (Minervois La Liviniere)

Editors' Choice

Price $34

Named after a Roman legionary who was given a grant of the land on which the estate of Massamier la Mignarde now stands, this wine is a blend of low-yielding Syrah and old-vine Grenache.

Château Massamier la Mignarde 2004 Teniment des Garouilhas Red (Minervois La Liviniere)

Price $56

The result of a moment of inspiration from Massamier la Mignarde’s owner Frantz Venes. He blended Syrah, Grenache and Carignan and fermented them using Beaujolais-style carbonic maceration.

Best Buy

Price $12

This is the classic style of Minervois, with herbal fruits, and strawberry and black plum flavors. The key to this wine is the dry, tannic structure, which roots it firmly in the style of the region. — R.V. (12/31/2006)

Château Massamier la Mignarde 2005 Expression de Massamier la Mignarde Carignan (Vin de Pays des Coteaux de Peyriac)

Price $22

Château Massamier la Mignarde 2006 Rosé (Minervois)

Online Exclusive

Price $15

A rather too full, peppery wine that has caramel and tannin flavors. The fruit is there, red apples, kiwi acidity and pink grapefruit, but the weight is too much. — R.V. (7/1/2007)
