Vieux Carignan

A dense, deep violet with inky black reflections. The nose is classically old Carignan with its aromas of fresh strawberry and grape followed by more intense notes of blackberry, black fig, and laurel but also green peppercorns. The tannins are well rounded, fine, very elegant, and persistent. In the mouth we find an exemplary 100% Carignan from vines planted in 1895 – a real “old Carignan” – with its fabulous red fruit, wonderful freshness, and rich texture full of juicy gariguette strawberries, white flowers, and exotic, spicy notes. This exceptional parcel selection is the expression of a superb altitude terroir that offers a superb vivacity characteristic of Carignan in counterpoint to the intense power of this emblematic Mediterranean variety.
