🇫🇷 Alo Jais, Carignan Côtes Catalanes
Country: France | Region: Côtes Catalanes (Roussillon)
Grapes: Carignan
Style: Red Wine
🍇 Intense, Characterful, and Wildly Expressive
Born from rugged terrain and ancient vines in the foothills of the Pyrenees, this low-yield Carignan is a bold yet elegant wine—brimming with Mediterranean soul and distinctive personality.
🍷 In the Glass
Deep garnet with violet hues—rich, dark, and inviting.
👃 On the Nose
Complex and aromatic with layers of black cherry, plum, and wild blackberry, woven with hints of garrigue herbs, cracked pepper, and a touch of earthiness.
🍽 On the Palate
Full-flavoured yet refined, with plush dark fruit, velvety tannins, and a smooth, polished texture. A whisper of spice and minerality lingers on the long, warming finish.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled lamb, ratatouille, chargrilled aubergine, hearty cassoulet, or aged hard cheeses. A natural match for rustic Mediterranean fare.
⏳ Ageing Potential
Enjoy now for its intensity and charm, or cellar for 4–6 years to allow its earthy complexity to deepen.
💫 Why You’ll Love It
This is Carignan with character—concentrated yet silky, wild yet elegant. A true expression of its terroir, and as winemaker Guillaume says, a “must taste” wine that overdelivers with every sip.
