Description

MOURVEDRE, CARIGNAN

The Wine

A powerful and authentic wine, with silky tannins.

The Terroir: the Sandstones of Boutenac in Boutenac

A northwest-facing hillside, on thin, highly stony limestone soils. A terroir with high quality potential, classified as Cru Boutenac, and located mainly at the top of the slope where Carignan is at its most expressive. Mid-slope, Mourvèdre finds its place.

The tasting

A deep purple color. A nose of garrigue and wild berries. A dense, straightforward, balanced palate with silky tannins. Serving temperature 18 to 20°C, cellaring 10 years. Enjoy with duck breast, meats in sauce, or game.
