Le Petit Bâtard Red 2018 (Carignan-Marsanne)

Le Petit Bâtard rouge 2018 (Carignan Marsanne)

Vin de France|Red wine

3.2/5 (5 customers)

Here, the Carignan expresses itself with elegance and distinctiveness, enhanced by the Marsanne. The blend of these two grape varieties yields an intense purple color with aromas of red fruit, blond tobacco, and gray pepper. On the palate, it offers a round attack with a touch of freshness and fine, velvety tannins.
