WINE DESCRIPTION

Château de Caraguilhes Corbières is a robust and flavorful red wine produced by Château de Caraguilhes, a winery renowned for its commitment to organic and sustainable viticulture in the Corbières appellation of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in France. This wine is typically a blend of traditional Southern French grape varieties, such as Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Mourvèdre, which thrive in the Mediterranean climate of the region. The diverse terroir of Corbières, with its rocky soil and dry, sunny weather, contributes to the intensity and complexity of the wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Château de Caraguilhes Corbières typically features a rich array of aromas, including ripe red and dark fruits, such as cherries, blackberries, and plums, complemented by notes of herbs, spices, and a hint of earthiness.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a solid structure and smooth tannins. Flavors of dark fruit are enriched by nuances of garrigue (wild herbs), black pepper, and a subtle smokiness. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering taste of fruit and spice. This wine is a great representation of the Corbières terroir, offering a bold and complex profile that pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Château de Caraguilhes

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
