WINE ADVOCATE Realeased after only a few months of maturation, the 2017 Corbieres Chateau Coulon Made with Organic Grapes is grapey and immediate, with dominant notes of fresh berries. This meduim to full-bodied wine is bold and up-front, loaded with blue-berries but hinting at thyme ans carda-mom complexity. I’d opt to drink it over its first few years for the ebullient fruit, but it could go longer.
