Carignan Radical 2022
Carignan Radical is a 100% Carignan from 80-year-old vines on the schist terraces of Faugères — Pèira Levada's argument for a long-misunderstood grape. Alexandre Durand treats Carignan with 90 days of skin maceration and zero additives to reveal what the variety can truly achieve in the right place.

Karaktär
Dried cherry, garrigue spice and a complex mineral core of powdered schist. Medium-bodied with supple but precise tannins and a bright acidity that carries the wine long. Long, mineral and expressive finish. Needs air.
