Syrah The Guirlandes

A Syrah from the Languedoc that shows what the south of France can do with this grape variety: dark fruit, spicy depth, and a character that doesn't beat around the bush.

Château Fontarèche is located in the heart of the Languedoc-Roussillon, one of the oldest wine regions in France. The soils here — calcareous, stony, poor — force the vines to go deep. The result is concentrated grapes with a distinct terroir character. The Guirlandes is the estate's Syrah: varietal, vinified dry, with a focus on fruit and structure.

In the glass, it shows a dark ruby red with violet reflections. On the nose, blackberry and black olive, accompanied by a typical Syrah interplay of black pepper and smoked meat. On the palate, medium to full body, ripe tannins, an invigorating acid structure, and a long, spicy finish with a hint of lavender — the South of France in a glass.

Pairs well with grilled lamb with herbs de Provence, merguez, ratatouille, or firm sliced cheese. Serving temperature: 16–18 °C.

The Château

Chateau Fontarèche

Between Narbonne and Carcassonne, in the heart of the Languedoc, lies Château Fontarèche – one of the oldest wineries in the Corbières appellation. The Château has been family-owned since 1682: at that time, Pierre Mignard, portrait painter to Louis XIV, acquired the estate. Today, the de Lamy family, direct descendants of the Mignards, continues the legacy in the ninth generation – together with a team led by director Vincent Dubernet.

Over 17 different grape varieties grow on more than 130 hectares around the Château: Syrah, Carignan, and Grenache Blanc alongside Roussanne, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. This diversity is reflected in the range – from powerful Corbières red wines to fresh Vins de Pays d'Oc. What all the wines have in common is the Mediterranean terroir between the Mediterranean Sea and the foothills of the Pyrenees: dry summers, nutrient-poor soils, and plenty of sun.
