Grand Carignan 2021
9,80 €
This wine is from a unique, north-east facing plot called “Grand Carignan” which is located half-way up the vineyard, on Ensérune hill facing the Montagne Noire. These Carignan vines are over 45 years old and therefore qualify as old vines.
This and the method winemaking used, produces a wine with a distinctively fresh and fruity palate. Les Parcelles is supple and round with fresh red fruit aromas and mentholated notes in the finish.
