Carignan, Mon Amour «100 Ans d'Age» — the liquid history and passion of the South of France The distinctive feature of this wine is the berries harvested from 100-year-old Carignan vines At such an age a vine gives a modest yield in volume but an incredibly concentrated and deep one, filled with the energy of the Mediterranean sun Created by the legendary woman winemaker Claude Vialade Flavour profile and aroma Aroma: bright, complex and many-layered. From the first nose juicy black cherry, ripe blackberry and dried plum unfold, moving smoothly into shades of spicy black pepper, cocoa, liquorice and Mediterranean wild herbs (garrigue) Taste: dense, velvety and silky. The wine softly envelops the palate, showing an excellent balance between mature berry sweetness, noble acidity and rounded tannins Finish: long, warm and warming, with deep tones of dark chocolate, spices and a light smoky accent. Perfect pairings Meat: a juicy ribeye steak, roast leg of lamb with rosemary or duck breast Delicacies: aged jamón, tender prosciutto and piquant cured sausages Cheeses: aged hard cheeses (parmesan, comté, old gouda), hard cheeses with truffle
