Domaine de Courbissac is based at Cesseras within that cru, where Brunnhilde Claux farms biodynamically. Les Traverses is the estate's introductory red, drawn from the younger vines across 11 parcels surrounding the cellar, in roughly equal parts Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The fruit is hand-harvested, then fermented naturally as whole bunches in concrete vat with the grapes gently foot-trodden and sulphur kept to a minimum. The wine spends six months in concrete, with no oak at any stage, which keeps the fruit direct and the tannins supple. It is a good introduction to the domaine and a reminder of the style Minervois was once known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink over the next four or five years with grilled lamb, sausages or a ratatouille. Serve at 16 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
