Benjamin Darnault Maris La Senche 2013
About the wine
Top shelf biodynamic vineyards that only Benjamin has access to
- This is the really high end red from organic and biodynamically grown vineyards, fermented and aged in these space-age, egg-shaped tanks.
- Benjamin's day job is making wine at the prestigious Chateau Maris in the tiny French Minervois La Liviniere appellation, so he gets to buy an eensy bit of that uber expensive fruit just for Angels who want a taste of the finer things (less than 1,000 cases!)
- And because you fund Ben from scratch, this wine is still a bargain, full of the ripe dark fruit, warm spices and elegant roundness that you'd have to pay three times as much for in Chateauneuf du Pape!
