Farmed in the hills around the medieval walled city of Carcassonne (a UNESCO world heritage site), this wine is crafted at the Vignobles d'Alaric, a high quality co-op whose members work their vineyards with respect for the environment. The cooperative works with 1,300 hectares of vineyards located across more than 20 communes between Corbières and Minervois, with a mosaic of limestone terraces, clay-limestone slopes, gravelly alluvial plains, and pockets of sandstone.The wine is vinified in a mix of concrete and steel tanks, finished at 14% alcohol. La Miche carries its HVE3 certificiation for sustainability on its label; it is also certified by Terra Vitis. Medium-bodied, low in tannins, and fabulously ripe, like a bowlful of ripe cherries with a kick of kirsch and warm spices, it's smooth on the palate and true to its deep French roots. There are fewer and fewer values like this in the wine world.
