Luc Pierlet’s Appellation D’Origine Protégée series focuses on making wines true to their terroir. His Corbières is excellent. It threads the needle between earthy and fruity characteristics. The wine pairs easily with food and has no harsh edges. At $11, you should buy two bottles. One for yourself to try ahead of sharing the second.
