Collection: Buy Carignan wines

Find on this page all the wines made entirely or in part from the Carignan grape variety. Originally from Spain (from the town of Cariñena in the province of Zaragoza) and arrived in France during the Middle Ages, this variety, although of great interest, has often been criticized in the past because the yields too high practiced by the winegrowers did not do him credit. Mediterranean grape variety par excellence, Carignan loves the sun and is therefore well established in the south of France: Languedoc-Roussillon (Côtes du Roussillon , Saint-Chinian etc.) in particular but also Provence (Côtes-de-Provence, Palette etc.) or Rhône Valley southern (Côtes-du-Rhône, Lirac etc.) are his favorite terroirs . Of tannic nature, they present aromas of ripe red and black fruits, as well as spicy notes (garrigue, pepper, etc.). It is rarely vinified on its own (although this can make excellent wines) and is therefore often blended with other grape varieties. In the kitchen, its combination with red meats and game is a hit!
