Carignan Vieilles Vignes Roche de Belanne

LGI were created in 1999 by forward thinking partners aware of the challenge and opportunity that lay ahead for regional French wines in the competitive international market. Wines are made and blended from three main sources. Saint Chinian in the Herault, Jean d`Alibert in Minervois and from Gascogny. In the heart of the Languedoc, one of the world’s largest wine regions with an array of diverse climates and terroirs allowing a range of local and international varieties to be grown.

Made from 50 year old Carignan vines, grown on red chalky soils in the village of Cruzy just north from Béziers city in Languedoc. This wine is ripe, concentrated and has complexity from half of the cuvée seeing 5 months of barrel age. Deep ruby in colour with an alluring nose of sweet ripe strawberry and dark cherry, it is supple with ripe fruit flavours and very light tannins.

This well flavoured red will match grilled meats, steak, casseroles and game and ripe cheeses.
