"Fruit and spice!"
Ripe fruit and spice aromas fill the mouth from the first sip. This is followed by notes of blackberry, blueberry and garrigue. The finish is perennial, with herbaceous fragrances adding a touch of freshness. This complex wine is a perfect match for many red meat dishes.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 90/100 (Vintage 2020)
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Founded in Vingrau in 2002 by Jacques Castany and Pascal Dieumidou, this estate found good advice right from the start from their neighbor Hervé Bizeul's oenologist (Clos des Fées). In 2004, its reputation took off thanks to Decanter magazine. However, the two are still part-time winemakers, despite their 10 hectares in production. The winery, housed in an old garage, remains simple but efficient. All the cuvées are very well made, making the domaine a sure bet in the Roussillon region.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Jacques Castany worked in transport and Pascal Dieunidou in IT. In 2002, they set up in viticulture in a tiny winery. With success, as their already brilliant track record testifies. The 10-hectare vineyard is located in Vingrau, facing an imposing limestone cirque.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 19/03/2024
A particularly accomplished cuvée in 2021, with a flamboyant, fiery character that's skilfully tamed. Carrément Rouge charms with its core of ripe fruit (bigarreau, black plum, blackberry and blackcurrant), combined with floral and spicy notes, complemented by discreet touches of leather and mocha. On the palate, warm, full-bodied and beautifully textured, the supple, velvety tannins provide a formidable, intense, crisp persistence, with a thread of minerality counterbalancing the opulence. Power and complexity combined with freshness and finesse add extra soul to this cuvée, which some consider to be a Gem from Roussillon. Go crazy for this irresistible red with a spicy lamb tagine with figs and apricots. Just as irresistible for a very long time, the price! Score = 4.4.
