This fine, juicy, well-priced Cabernet Sauvignon shows just what the Languedoc-Roussillon is capable of.

The Languedoc-Roussillon produces fantastic, modern-style wines at exceptional prices, and Domaine de Saissac Cabernet Sauvignon is no exception. A long-time favourite of Corney & Barrow, Domaine de Saissac is a small wine estate on the banks of the historic Canal du Midi. Concentrated and balanced with delicate, cedar-spice notes.
