Description

Le Carignan noir est un grand cépage méditerranéen. Il fût une Star en Languedoc. Pour en tirer la quintessence, il faut comme ici, limiter sa production par un terroir caillouteux et une taille en gobelet.
To capture its essence, we limited yields by growing it on stony soil with traditional gobelet pruning. It gives rich dark fruit and spice notes with ample freshness.
