Luberon: Château la Canorgue Rouge 2021
Free next day delivery when you spend £125
The dense, dark Château la Canorgue rouge has wonderful, wild herb scents and garrigue berry flavours supported by a framework of ripe tannins - a round and powerful Provence wine. Certified organic.
An excellent red Côtes du Luberon wine that is blended from Syrah and Grenache with the welcome addition of some old-vine Carignan. It is a great gastronomic wine - perfect with a roast leg of lamb, studded with garlic and rosemary.

Château la Canorgue (Nathalie Margan)
Nathalie Margan worked with her father Jean-Pierre for over a decade before gradually taking over the reins (though Jean-Pierre still lends a hand when needed). Nathalie's father and wife Martine began producing wine at Martine's parents’ ancestral estate, Château de la Canorgue, in the craggy Provençal hills around Bonnieux in 1978. Over the following 20 years, they painstakingly renovated the house and created an inspirational modern winery making red, white and rosé wines that have drawn international acclaim. Nathalie nows farm 35 hectares organically and the wines are largely classified under the sizeable, and variable, Rhône satellite appellation of Luberon. The Margans are widely recognized as being amongst the best of the appellation and one of Provence’s most pioneering estates.
