Calmel & Joseph - Terroirs - Vieux Carignan 2015
17/20
Jancis Robinson
With a slightly peppery nose, Calmel & Joseph's Vieux Carignan is beautifully supple on the palate. With notes of ripe black fruit and garrigue typical of the grape variety, it is delightfully indulgent. Made from century-old Carignan vines, it offers excellent value for money.
