Carignan

2010 Languedoc Carignan

The Domaine Des Terres Falmet Carignan from the 2010 vintage is a striking red wine that showcases the rich character of the Languedoc region. This Carignan is medium-bodied, offering a delightful balance between structure and approachability. With lively acidity, it invigorates the palate while supporting the expressive fruit intensity, which features prominent notes of dark berries and ripe stone fruits. The tannins are noticeable yet smooth, contributing to a harmonious mouthfeel that can be enjoyed now or allowed to evolve further with age. This wine's off-dry finish adds a layer of complexity, making it an excellent choice for food pairing or simply savoring on its own. Overall, it captures the essence of the Languedoc's terroir, promising a delightful tasting experience.

Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon

France's oldest and largest winemaking region, the Languedoc-Roussillon stretches around the sun-kissed Mediterranean from Roussillon to Provence. Taking in everything from rugged mountain slopes to breezy coastline, this vast region features various climates and terroirs. Outside of its famous AOCs like Minervois, Corbières and Saint-Chinian, many Languedoc wines are made in the less restrictive IGP classification, in particular the Pays d'Oc. There are many wine styles made in Languedoc, but full-bodied reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault are the most common. For summer drinking, look to its fruity rosé, rounded Chardonnay and zingy Picpoul. You will often find grape varieties stated on the label of Languedoc's IGP wines, an uncommon practice in much of France.
