Wine Expert Note:

The Domaine Lafage Tessellae Vieilles Vignes Carignan is a remarkable wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Carignan grape variety. With its deep ruby color, this wine immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and earthiness. These aromas are further enhanced by delicate floral notes, adding a touch of elegance to the overall profile. Upon tasting, the wine reveals a full-bodied and well-structured palate. The rich fruit flavors of blackberry and plum are beautifully balanced with the wine's firm tannins, providing a harmonious and lingering finish. The oak aging process contributes to the wine's complexity, imparting subtle vanilla and toasty notes. The Domaine Lafage Tessellae Vieilles Vignes Carignan is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential for further aging. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.

Clos du Mont-Olivet Côtes du Rhône Vieilles Vignes, with a winemaking legacy dating back to a 1547 notarial deed referencing a vineyard sale, embodies over five centuries of history. While the Sabon family established a formal connection to the vineyards in the early 1900s, the estate's roots extend much further. Founded in 1932 by Séraphin and Marie Sabon, the winery transitioned through generations. Today, Celine, David, and Thierry lead with dedication, overseeing 21 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 14 in Lirac, 10 in Côtes du Rhône, and 3 in Vin de Pays du Gard. Their diverse plots allow each grape variety to thrive in its optimal soil, resulting in exceptional reds dominated by Grenache, complemented by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and others, while whites showcase a blend of Clairette blanche, Bourboulenc, Rouzanne, Grenache blanc, and more.
