“The Languedoc Les Darons 2022 is denser and richer, with notes of ripe black cherry, wild strawberry, ground pepper, and flowers, resulting in a medium-bodied to full-bodied wine that is pure and beautifully balanced. The purity and balance here are top-notch. The blend consists of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and the remainder Carignan, sourced from old vines and aged in concrete. This is a sure bet.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2023).
