Les Carlines opens with a nose that's at once wild, animal and floral, and the palate responds with an abundance of fruity flavors dominated by blackcurrant and crushed blueberry. The nascent roundness of the tannins is appreciated, as are the pretty bitters on the finish. A lovely, elegant bottle!

About the domain :
Mas Haut-Buis is first and foremost an exceptional high-altitude site, nestled some 650 meters above sea level between garrigue, olive and almond trees. The 14 hectares are made up of no fewer than twelve separate plots. Olivier Jeantet, who settled here in 1999, is a self-taught winemaker who quickly grasped the secrets of the trade and the exacting standards required to produce great wines of character, reflecting the tension and uprightness of the Terrasses du Larzac. A heritage of old vines, hard work in the vineyard, ageing in large containers and meticulously thought-out blends have enabled this estate to become one of the appellation's leading names.
