| Description: | 60% Carignan, 30% Grenache Noir, 10% Mourvdre. It is hard not to open a bottle of Domaine de Fontsaintes Corbires La Demoiselle, smell the garrigue, spices, and notes of dark fruit and olives soaring from your glass, and think, Only from the Languedoc can we drink a wine made from century-old vines with this much class and ageability for less than $25. This grippy rouge comes from Domaine de Fontsaintes most famous parcel called La Demoiselle, which the Laboucari family has farmed since the early 1970s. This year, the Carignan vines in that vineyard turned one hundred and twenty! Thanks to winemakers like Bruno Laboucari and wines like La Demoiselle, Carignan has experienced a bit of a resurgence in the Languedoc, now receiving the respect and analysis it deserves by deft vignerons. Many of the regions most ambitious vignerons today consider it to be the Languedocs unsung hero and a taste of La Demoiselle will show you why. Full of character, soul, and deliciousness, it pairs perfectly with pretty much anything right off the grilljust in time for summer! Tom Wolf, Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant |
