l’Edre Forcément Carignan 2017

 

SKU: EDRE032217 Categories: , , , Product ID: 13574

Description

Jacques Castany and Pascal Dieunidou are two wine fanatics, farming inherited vines part-time in the village of Vingrau (Roussillon). With limited acreage, average yields of just 1.05 tons/acre, and consistently stellar press, the wines are naturally in short supply, though there are plans to slowly increase production to meet demand.

Tasting Notes: Offers a mix of ripe red and dark fruit aromas, with spice, licorice and light mineral character. The palate is soft and supple, with intense fruit and ripe tannins leading to a lingering finish.

Serve With: Excellent with grilled meats (especially rosemary-scented lamb, merguez sausage, marinated flank-steak, and more…)
