Calmel & Joseph - Corbières La Madone rouge 2017

"The 2017 Corbières La Madone is a 60-40 blend of Grenache and Syrah that was co-fermented and then aged for a year in barrel. Plums and vanilla mark the nose, leading to a full-bodied, creamy wine that's supple to the touch. It's undeniably modern, but hard to resist, as waves of ripe fruit and subtle oak flood the palate and linger on the velvety finish[...]" (Wine Advocate 2020)

5/5 (1 review)

"Medium-deep ruby color. Pure, ripe nose offering notes of sweet fruit - strawberry, plum, laurel and garrigue. Medium weight, round and supple texture, nice freshness, digestible and fresh, crisp red fruits and garrigue spices, round finish." (Andreas Larsson 2023)

Calmel & Joseph - Faugères Le Gaillard rouge 2020

"Everything is perfumed and elegant in this gourmet red: the nose of black fruit, redcurrant, spices and licorice, as well as the silky, crisp palate, gently supported by polished tannins that let the ripe, fresh fruit express itself without restraint. A great success, as is often the case with this inspired negociant". (Le Guide Hachette 2023)

Calmel & Joseph - Côtes du Roussillon Caramany La Folie Douce rouge 2021

"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.

This 100% Syrah is a concentrate of sunshine! Yet it's also beautifully fresh, with supple, round, mellow tannins underlining a long, full-bodied palate. Thanks to a multitude of aromas, this cuvée will be the ideal companion for your charcuterie platters and aperitifs!

Calmel & Joseph - IGP Pays d'Oc Villa Blanche Chardonnay blanc 2022

3.8/5 (10 reviews)

This Chardonnay, with its brilliant pale yellow color and golden highlights, has an assertive, elegant character. The palate is full-bodied and unctuous, with good length. A perfectly balanced vintage to accompany asparagus risotto or sea bream en papillote.

Calmel & Joseph - Les Terroirs - Saint-Chinian 2015

3.1/5 (8 reviews)

Planted on both clay-limestone and schist soils, the Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault vines produce a more complex wine in 2015 than in the previous vintage. Fruity, gourmet aromas awaken this Saint Chinian, supported by beautiful minerality and well-coated tannins.

Calmel & Joseph - Les Crus - Limoux 2014

4/5 (2 reviews)

"Light gold color. Fine woody vanilla on a background of peach, honey and heady flowers. A spirited attack. The palate develops slowly, accompanied by an elegant woody-fruity palette. The final sweetness prolongs the pleasure". (Le Guide des Vins 2016 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

Calmel & Joseph - Les Crus - Caramany 2013

4/5 (5 reviews)

"Syrah (50%), Grenache and Carignan collaborate on this oak-aged cuvée. Enchanting, rich and powerful, the nose develops scents of red and black fruits, iris and balsamic notes. Fruity aromas (blackberry, blackcurrant and cherry) are found in a delicate attack, followed by a liquorice woodiness that expresses itself in an ample, velvety body built on fine tannins. The finish is long, fresh and floral. Full-bodied and promising ". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

Calmel & Joseph - Terroirs - Vieux Carignan 2015

3.1/5 (8 reviews)

Slightly peppery on the nose, Calmel & Joseph's Vieux Carignan is supple on the palate. With notes of ripe black fruit and garrigue, typical of the grape variety, it asserts itself with greediness. Made from century-old Carignan vines, it's an excellent value for money.

Calmel & Joseph - Languedoc 2015

Fine, spicy and fruity, Calmel & Joseph's Languedoc red is deeply Mediterranean in style. Aromas of garrigue and ripe berries mingle on the palate, with smooth, round tannins.

Calmel & Joseph - Les Crus - Terrasses du Larzac 2014

5/5 (2 reviews)

A blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah, this Terrasses du Larzac presents a nose as singular as ever, with gourmet aromas of blackcurrant, elderberry and candied fruit cake. The palate is frank and elegant, with subtle notes of menthol and wood. The Mourvèdre grape, a major component of this blend, makes for a complex cuvée with excellent ageing potential.

Calmel & Joseph - Languedoc 2014

2/5 (2 reviews)

A nose of white flowers, a palate of white fruit, this white Languedoc cuvée is both ripe and easy to digest. Acidity is well controlled. It's a dry, fresh wine, perfect with grilled white fish or fish en papillote.

Calmel & Joseph - Terroirs - Minervois 2012

3.2/5 (5 reviews)

"Purple. On the nose, rose petals and plum - very pretty! Exhilarating red fruit, a frank attack on the palate, which then melts into a dry, gourmet finish with a slightly bitter olive note. Very, very fine, fluid tannins, as polished as a walnut desk! Rather aromatic, suave and refined on the palate". (Jancis Robinson)
