Domaine Du Traginer Collioure Rouge

2008 Collioure Red Blend

The Domaine Du Traginer Collioure Rouge from the celebrated Collioure region is a captivating red blend that showcases the unique terroir of this picturesque area in the south of France. With its deep ruby color, this wine exudes intense aromas of dark fruits, such as ripe blackberries and plums, mingling harmoniously with subtle notes of spice and earthy undertones. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied experience, complemented by a firm yet elegant structure. The acidity is bright and lifts the rich fruit flavors, making it mouthwatering and refreshing, while the tannins provide a solid backbone that promises aging potential. This well-crafted wine is dry, making it an excellent choice to pair with hearty dishes, grilled meats, or a delightful selection of cheeses. The 2008 vintage has developed beautifully, offering layers of complexity that reflect both the skill of the winemaker and the extraordinary qualities of the Collioure region.

Region:


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.
