Val de Combrès
Bichette 2023

An even split of Carignan, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. The latter feels high in the mix in the aromas, giving lovely deeps fruits, cinnamon spice and coffee grounds. The super-supple mouthfeel leads into a grippy, dry finish, seasoned with wild herbs. So typically Val in its vibrant fruit character, further impressing with its sleek, silky texture.

Le Chai Volant
Carry Carry 2023

Fatim's entry-point red, conversely coming from some of her oldest vines of Carignan at 80 years of age. Less finessed and more raw than her other wines, this is true vin de table in a more edgy, 'rock n' roll' style - rustic, sanguine juice to quench a thirst. Find out more.

La Grange Du Nord
Cercle 2022

The texture of the wine is wonderfully supple and fluid, with impressive purity of fruit. Highly digestible, the wine seems to diffuse at the edges, showing a satin-like softness, and airy quality that defies the southern heat. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Raoul 2024

Vivid ruby Carignan and another delightfully light, luminous vintage, already to drinking superbly in its youth. Fruit is freshly crushed black and red cherry with a herbal lilt of wild fennel garrigue and light balsamic twang, towards a lovely sense of limestone minerals in the finish. Find out more.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
La Tangente 'Potion' 2021

A distinctly Mediterranean-leaning affair with this cuvée, made using Carignan harvested in Luberon. The name Potion came from the wine's tonic quality - it is so easy to drink and bursts with spicy, sun-kissed fruits. A compelling, lip-smacking red. Find out more.

La Grange Du Nord
Mitan 2021

The most boldly-structured of the Grange du Nord wines, Mitan introduces a wild-edged nose of Carignan to the Grenache and Cinsault, and brings a lightly vegetal, stemmy character from the whole bunches. Giving the most textbook notes of the varietals in its expression, there are forest fruits, blackcurrants and spice, with a tannic structure that feels woven into the wine. Find out more.

La Luminaille
Rasteau Vin Doux Nature 2022

On the nose this sweet red wine bursts with clear cut cherry, raspberry blackberries with just a hint of menthol and spice adding a layer of complexity. Luscious but light on its feet with a digeste quality, this has very fine tannins and a savoury finish. Find out more.
