ABOUT THE WINE
The 2020 N.7 Red Wine from Domaine La Croix Belle is a masterful blend of seven carefully selected grape varieties, each vinified separately in oak barrels before blending. This unique approach highlights the dedication of Jacques and Francoise Boyer, who founded the estate in 1977 on the scenic slopes of the Cevennes, just north of Béziers in Languedoc. Over the years, the Boyers have transformed this 110-hectare estate, replanting vineyards and modernising the cellar to produce organic wines that capture the character and quality of the region. Today, Domaine La Croix Belle offers a diverse range of wines that deliver exceptional value and showcase the best of Southern France.

TASTING NOTES
Aged individually in oak for a year before blending, the 2020 N.7 Red Wine reveals opulent aromas of blackberry, prune, and dark mulberry. These rich fruit notes are enhanced by layers of black pepper, earthy undertones, and espresso, with hints of mocha adding depth. On the palate, this wine is sumptuous and velvety smooth, with a wisp of smokiness that lingers elegantly on the finish. This blend of seven grape varieties results in a balanced yet complex Southern French red that is both expressive and harmonious.

FOOD PAIRING
This robust red wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes. Try it with roast wild boar and a red wine reduction, venison braised in stout with root vegetables, or a game meat pie topped with golden puff pastry. The wine’s rich profile enhances the savoury flavours of these robust dishes, making it perfect for indulgent meals.

FRIARWOOD SAYS
The unique terroir of Domaine La Croix Belle is shaped by the cooling Mistral, Tramontane, and Narbonnaise winds, which contribute essential diurnal temperature shifts, cooling and cleansing the vines. This environment allows for the production of balanced, expressive wines that reflect their origin. A Decanter Wine Award Winner 2024, the 2020 N.7 Red Wine is an exquisite choice for those seeking a refined, multi-layered Languedoc wine.
