Dom. Rouge-Bleu 2017 Dentelle Red
Carignan is thought of as the Languedoc variety par excellence, but it can make distinctively brambly and
authentic wine in the Rhône as well, especially when blended with the local kingpin grape Grenache. As the
vineyards are restored to health, Caroline and Thomas go from strength to strength. This is the best vintage since
the miraculous debut year of 2007.
