CHÂTEAU CARAGUILHES

Château de Caraguilhes is a sprawling 600-hectare property that stretches across the Corbieres region in the south of France. Over 130 hectares of the property are under the vine, which are surrounded by garrigue (wild land). The vineyards are just 30 kilometers from the Mediterranean sea, which helps to mitigate disease pressure and boosts acidity levels. Caraguilhes has been committed to organic farming since 1987 and the vineyards have been certified organic since 1992.

Winemaker Notes

40% Viognier, 30%  Vermentino, 30% Colombard.

Beautifully clear, a very pale golden color with tints of green, revealing a lovely freshness. Very expressive with lemony notes. Lovely Freshness. The light, aromatic roundness comes from the Viognier grape, while the Colombard contributes the body. An easy-drinking wine, ideal to share with friends.

Pair with grilled mussels, monkfish with fennel, oysters, or on its own as an aperitif.

Winemaker Notes

30% Grenache Noir, 30% Carignan, 20% Syrah, 20% Cinsault.

The deep dense color displays a good concentration, with the violet glints on the edge of the glass signaling the lively youthfulness of this wine. Lovely intense nose offering gorgeous fruity aromas; raspberry and blackcurrant are underpinned with a hint of cherry. The complexity lends a certain maturity to this young. Silky attack with notes of crushed raspberry and burlat cherry. The tannins provide a great structure reinforcing the balance of the wine. Bags of personality. Easy to share.

Pair with duck with olives, roast pork with prunes, Aberdeen Angus beef ribs, duck breast, roast beef, grilled lamb chops…

Winemaker Notes

100% Cinsault from the vineyard named L’Olivette. Grapes are destemmed and crushed, then matured for 3 months in concrete vats, after which the wine is bottled. No added sulphites. Ethereal with notes of thyme and rosemary, touches of toasted bread. The nose then opens up a little more to produce more subtle aromas of peony and raspberry. Delicate, fruity and generous at the same time. A candid and juicy wine. This Cinsault opens up without any reserves. Pair with Iberico pork chops with thyme, capon with rosemary, or on its own under the pergola…

Winemaker Notes

 

A pale yellow wine, bright and clear, showing freshness and elegance.

 

The white Grenache has a unique character and an elegant complexity, with seductive aromas of lemon and grapefruit. After aeration, it is the minerality which comes to the fore, with subtle notes of white flowers and redcurrants.  As the Solus gains power, it reveals a certain distinctive purity through notes of fresh almonds and toasted bread. Rounded and vibrant, with a long mineral finish, a perfect expression of the Boutenac terroir.

Pair with rock lobster in aspic, coquilles St Jacques, sole with wild mushrooms, foie gras with quince jelly… or our favourite, turbot en croûte with herb butter.

Winemaker Notes

40% Carignan, 40% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah. Hand-picked grapes. 65% vinified for 10 months in French oak barrels. 35% vinified in concrete vats.

Intense aromas of dark fruits (blackberry, cherry) are followed by wonderfully melting notes of « garrigue », strengthening the freshness of this 2021 vintage. The palate is soft, fresh and well-balanced. The three grape varieties, each one perfectly adapted to our site, combine beautifully to create a wine with a strong and individual personality. It sounds like 2020 vintage in a softness way … Mourvèdre and Carignan lend great finesse to this classy and elegant wine.

Pair with quail with truffles, entrecôte steak, rabbit with plums, pork with caramel sauce, confit de canard, fine cheeses, smoked duck, beef wagyu. The satiny fruit of the Solus red means it can also be enjoyed on its own.
