Carignan

foodie

old vines

discovery

A wine with a Southern character that showcases pure, concentrated fruit obtained through carbonic maceration of old Carignan grapes. The nose is intense and clean, fully revealing notes of small black berries, blackcurrant, cocoa, and aromatic herbs. The palate is dense, juicy, and fresh, making it instantly drinkable. A deliciously indulgent expression of Carignan—and absolutely delicious!

About the estate:

This unique estate, located in the picturesque setting of the Siran plateau, is run by Cécile Boyer-Domergue, who is always assisted by her mother, Patricia. Their wines are the result of work carried out with exemplary integrity, focused on the cultivation of rare or forgotten grape varieties. The fruit on the nose always has a slightly candied quality, while on the palate the wines display rare elegance and great finesse of texture, particularly the pure Cinsaults. The top vintages are sold only when they have reached their peak. The estate produces a lovely dry white made from forgotten varieties—Araignan Blanc, Riveyrenc Blanc, and Riveyrenc Gris—as well as a passérillé harvest, Erme, in the spirit of the “noble wines” once produced in the Minervois. We must commend the uniqueness and strength of this approach—both winemaking and commemorative—which serves as a vital point of reference, not only for the Minervois but for the entire Languedoc region.
