History is often written by the winners… so when you leaf through the books recently written on the history of Roussillon you will find no trace of the men who refused the policy of standardization concerning the grape varieties. So through these vintages, I wanted to pay tribute to the first “r\u00e9sistants”, to these winegrowers who, since the 1970s, took the risk of no longer being in the appellation, refusing the concept of an improving grape variety in order to preserve their old, often planted, vineyard. Time has proven them right: there are rarely “bad” varieties* but simply a mismatch between the grape variety, the terroir and the winegrower! *Here Macabeu for the white and Carignan for the red, both in vats. Parcels located on the Espira de l’Agly terroir.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Vineyard<\/h3>\n

Sourced from 40-year-old vines rooted in the black schist soils of the Agly Valley, this characterful Carignan fully reflects the richness of its mineral terroir. These deep soils, warm by day and cool at night, allow the grapes to reach optimal ripeness while preserving fruit freshness.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wine<\/h3>\n

Hand-harvested Carignan undergoes a short cold maceration to gently extract aromas and the finest tannins. Fermentation takes place at a controlled low temperature (22 \u00b0C) with careful extraction. The wine is then aged in tank for seven months to preserve fruit vibrancy while refining texture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tasting Notes<\/h3>\n

The robe shows a deep red with ruby highlights. The nose is intense and expressive, combining ripe cherry, sweet spices, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, it delights with juicy fruit and supple, lightly peppered tannins, carried by a refreshing backbone. A crisp, elegant red, perfect with grilled ribeye, tournedos in red wine sauce, or duck confit with olives. Serve around 16 \u00b0C.<\/span>
