Alain Grignon Le Champ du Begut Carignan VDP D’ Herault (sc)

Carignan from Alain Grignon of Languedoc, France. Carignan grapes produce a deep red wine with a fruity yet firm body. This wine is made from 40 year old vines, the small yields provide an intense palette of flavors. It is mainly the intense black fruits, like blackberries and blueberries, that set the tone with a vanilla touch from the light wood aging. A medium-length clean finish makes this wine very balanced and a wonderful value for money.
