This red, made from 80% Grenache and 20% Cinsault , charms the nose with aromas of morello cherry, violet, garrigue herbs and pine. The palate is round, dynamic and pure, with dominant red fruit and sweet spices. A perfect cuvée with tapas!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2023) 91/100 (Vintage 2018)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Paul Old cultivates these old vines between Corbières and Roussillon biodynamically. The minimalist approach in the cellar produces both highs (Prioundo and L'Extrême, in white) and lows, with gas saturation in certain cuvées and an occasional lack of clarity. The wines do, however, know how to age, and benefit from aeration.
