Carius 2016 presents a beautiful deep purple color, with a nose of ripe red fruit enhanced by elegant touches of white pepper and licorice. Elegant and intense on the palate, well-balanced between greedy fruit, a hint of sweetness and dense, silky tannins. Great value for money!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape-based company has been brilliantly taken over by Samuel Montgermont and the Picard family. Relying on its own vineyards (including 12 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and partnerships with some thirty winemakers, it makes wines that are full-bodied, fleshy and expressive, all highly representative of their respective appellations.
