Profile

Description

"Domaine of the Bee was started in 2004 by Master of Wine, Justin Howard-Sneyd. During travels to France's southern Languedoc-Roussillon region, Justin was convinced that the Maury area was the ideal place to craft his wines. Unavailable anywhere else in Canada, we are thrilled to present this wine to members! Our Flagship red is made from our best barrels of Grenache and Carignan, and this year we have been able to classify if for the first time as a relatively new designation - Maury Sec. The vineyards are the same, the grapes taste the same, but we've upped the Grenache component to 60%," from the winery.

Pairing

Great with grilled red meat, hearty stews, barbequed food, or hard cheeses.

Aromas and Flavours

Plum

Sweet, fruity and sensual, similar stone fruit aromas to a peach, but without the 'fuzziness'.

Cherry

Fresh B.C. cherries out of the back of a truck, all eaten before you can get them home!

Strawberry

A sweet, almost caramel-like aroma reminiscent of your favourite juicy, red berry.

Vanilla

A sweet spice aroma that indicates oak-ageing - think vanilla bean frappuccino!

Cinnamon

The scent of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, straight out of the oven - ooey gooey goodness!
