Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

Château Nadal-Hainaut sits inside a 12th-century priory near Perpignan, and three sisters now run it: Julie, Pauline and Marie-Luce, the sixth generation.

Terre de Quarante is their blend of the best Syrah and Grenache, grown on clay and stones and aged 12 months in French oak.

The sisters' best plots in one bottle.

Roussillon map

The place

Roussillon

The deep south, against the Pyrenees and the Spanish border, Roussillon is Catalan in language and spirit. Intense sun, schist and granite, and gnarled old Grenache (in all its colours) give powerful dry reds and whites — and France's finest fortified wines, Banyuls and Maury, the natural partners to dark chocolate. Drier and more rugged than the Languedoc beside it.
