"It would be crazy to miss this vintage!"
The altitude of the Caramany terroir is fully expressed in this blend of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, giving it verticality. Aged in one-wine barrels, it has subtle woody notes, well-melted tannins, structure and lovely complexity. A perfect accompaniment to meatballs and chili con carne.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated wine (guide 2023) Prix Plaisir (Bronze Medal) (Prix Plaisir)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
A beautiful ruby-red color, with great intensity and roundness on the palate, and a kind of suavity in the tannins.

The ideal house for those who want to discover good Languedoc wines faithful to their terroir. Jérôme Joseph and Laurent Calmel are wine merchants without a winery. They mature their selected cuvées with the winegrowers from whom they buy them, respecting the flavors and terroirs of their origins.
