It has a caressing texture and welcome scent of flowers, warm stones and an entrancing mix of orchard and citrus fruits - it shape-shifts with each sip and smell, dancing around with your senses. A beauty.\" - Andrew Guard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Corbières AOC is a large and geographically diverse one, extending from coastal plains along the Mediterranean (home to massive tracts of ultra-productive vineyards) to the foothills of the Pyrenées in the south and west of the zone. Magnon’s 14 hectares of vines are situated in the latter “Hautes-Corbières” (upper Corbières) sub-zone, at elevations reaching up to 500 meters. The steep slopes here are characterized by an extremely thin topsoil over a rocky mix of limestone and schist, and it should go without saying that all vineyard work is done by hand. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn 2002, Burgundy native Maxime Magnon settled in the Corbières region and more precisely in Villeneuve-les-Corbières. Before that he worked with Jean Foillard, Philippe Valette and Thierry Allemand, three big names! further he was inspired by Didier Barral, his neighbour, he reintroduced goats, donkeys and cows (Chamomile the cow is pictured in this email). The vines are manually tended with the help of a small tracked vehicle (like Barral). In order to preserve the soils, neither pesticides nor insecticides are used. And from November to mid-April, the animals graze among the vines, which encourages microbial activity in soils.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maxime Magnon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44505545638050,"sku":"72910588312","price":93.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/6533\/4178\/files\/4_823b0c7f-8440-4416-81d5-a5f2c35c0719.png?v=1715677232","url":"https:\/\/spon.bar\/products\/2022-maxime-magnon-corbieres-rose-metisse","provider":"Spön Bottle Shop and Wine Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
