Vignobles Vellas, Pays Max Lions Grenache 2024

Vignobles Vellas Pays Max Lions Grenache 2024 is a richly fruit-driven red from southern France, combining Grenache’s natural warmth with smooth, silky tannins. Inspired by the myth of Perseus and Medusa, the striking Max Lion label reflects the wine’s character: powerful yet refined, with an irresistible, expressive style. It is an inviting choice for those who enjoy generous, modern Mediterranean reds.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in appearance, this Grenache opens with complex aromas of ripe small red berries, followed by notes of cherry and gentle spices. The palate is full-bodied and intensely fruity, with a rounded texture and silky tannins that provide structure without overpowering the wine. A well-balanced, aromatic finish makes it especially approachable in its youth, and it is best enjoyed over the next few years while its fresh fruit remains at the forefront.

Production
The wine is produced by family-owned Vignobles Vellas in the Languedoc, where vineyards benefit from the warm, sunny conditions of southern France. The producer places strong emphasis on careful vineyard work, aiming to harvest healthy grapes at optimum ripeness. While detailed vinification information is not provided, the rich fruit concentration and polished tannins suggest a carefully crafted Grenache focused on freshness, balance and expressive varietal character. Much of the estate’s vineyard holdings are organically farmed, reflecting the family’s commitment to responsible cultivation.

Food & Serving
A versatile red, this Grenache is excellent as an aperitif and pairs naturally with grilled or roasted meats, sausages, burgers, lamb and Mediterranean dishes seasoned with herbs and mild spices. Serve lightly cool, at approximately 15–17°C, to preserve its fruit-forward character. Decanting is not necessary for this approachable 2024 vintage, although a short airing in the glass can help its cherry and spice notes open up.

Producer
Vignobles Vellas is a fourth-generation family business rooted in the Languedoc. Its 120 hectares are spread across eight different terroirs, including five of the family’s own vineyards, while strong partnerships with growers extend its range across the Languedoc, South-West France, the Rhône Valley and Provence. Respect for the land and the environment is central to the company’s philosophy, with the majority of its vineyards farmed organically. This combination of regional knowledge, varied terroirs and close vineyard relationships allows Vignobles Vellas to create expressive wines that reflect the richness of southern France.
