Old-vine Carignan from the north-facing Aumelas plateau ferments on native yeast and rests eight months in stainless, no oak, no filtration. Blueberry and violet brightness rides on moderate tannin—ideal slightly chilled beside cold roast-beef sandwiches or after-work vinyl.

Carignan rarely goes solo in Languedoc; here it stands alone from roughly 40-year vines on the north-facing Causse d’Aumelas at 180 m. Fermented with native yeasts and bottled unfiltered, the cuvée skips oak entirely. The result is a blueberry-violet profile with mid-palate grip yet refreshing acidity.
