Again we have one of the cave
cooperative that produces absolutely top wines in the Corbières area. They
have their production in Ornaison and also p renisein Ferrals des Corbières.
The name Orfe is formed by the first parts of the name of the two villages. The
members of this cooperative comes however from a much larger area in Corbières
and can there for get the absolutely best grapes that are harvested by the
members, even from the prestigious Terroir de Boutenac.
The wine is mainly made from the usual varieties in Corbières – Carignan,
Syrah, Grenach and Mourvèdre, but other verities are also used in their white
and rosé.
They produce six red wines, one rosé and one white. The red prestige wines
are very powerful and can be saved for 10+ years easily. The most powerful wine
is Cuvée Sextant and B de Boutenac is a more elegant and powerful wine of AOP
Corbières Boutenac.
From this vine-yard, we always make sure we have a case of every year of B de
Boutenac and Cuvèe Sextant to mature in our cellar.
