Carignides is a powerful yet refined expression of old Carignan, from 55-year-old vines rooted in blue schist soils around Domaine du Météore's meteorite crater. This poor, shale-rich soil provides low yields and a distinct mineral signature, while the age of the vines provides concentration and depth.
The wine is made from 100% old-vine Carignan. For added complexity, 30% of the grapes are fermented as whole bunches and 70% are destemmed in the same stainless steel tank. The intra-pellucular fermentation of the whole bunches brings roundness and fruitiness, softening the sometimes rustic character of Carignan. The wine then ages for 18 months in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruit and terroir.
In the glass, Carignides shows intense colour with purple reflections. The nose opens with aromas of sour cherries and cassiscoulis, subtly supported by a smoky touch. On the palate, it is fleshy and round, with silky tannins and a nice texture. A wine with depth as well as elegance, which also promises superb ageing potential.
The wine comes directly from the winemakers, they send the bottles themselves.
