Discovering the wine region of Mont Caume
Var IGP bordering Bandol (Mediterranean, among the highest sunshine rates on the Provençal coast, shallow sloping soils, Mistral and sea breezes as regulators). Mourvèdre is the signature red: garnet robe with jammy ripe red fruits and spiced garrigue notes, supple structure. Grenache and Carignan complement the reds. Rolle, Bourboulenc, Ugni Blanc and Clairette for aromatic whites, lively floral rosés from Grenache-Cinsault-Carignan.
Discover the grape variety: Carignan
Intensely coloured and powerful reds with a deep colour, firm tannins and high acidity, on aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, garrigue, pepper, liquorice and balsamic notes. Old vines (>50 years, often centenary) yield exceptional cuvées. A historical pillar of Languedoc-Roussillon blends (Corbières, Minervois, Fitou, Maury) and star of Catalan Priorat under the name Cariñena. Very late-ripening variety from Aragon, also called Mazuelo in Rioja.
