Winemaker's Notes
"But the first question to pose here might be, what is a Campagnes? It is the name of a parcel of vines on a slope above the lovely river Berre in the Corbieres. It is 100% Carignan, gang, 100 years old! Magnon's style reminds me of Jean Foillard's in Morgon. Magnon is the southern Foillard. The wine's fruit is delicious, lovely and deep. It is not inky, alcoholic, or torturously tannic. There is a lot of wine in the wine, and every moment is created to please. You have an impression of little wild berries giving their all, and an incredibly silky texture." - Kermit Lynch.
