The wine

Carignan thrives in the warm Languedoc, and here it is picked for freshness and bottled without oak, letting the fruit shine. A bright, peppery southern French red.

Aromatic and lifted, it shows cassis and plum with garden herbs, a touch of spice and a savoury, gamey edge, the palate medium-bodied with juicy fruit, fresh acidity and smooth, supple tannins. Brilliant everyday drinking. Try it with grilled meats, charcuterie, pasta and hard cheese. A light chill suits it in summer.

The producer

Baron de Badassière comes from the sun-drenched Languedoc coast, where the vineyards look out over the Étang de Thau, the great lagoon that lends these wines their freshness. The name belongs to an old vineyard once owned by a flamboyant eighteenth-century baron, rumoured to be the illegitimate son of Louis XV.

Made at the respected Cave de Pomérols, in the heart of Picpoul de Pinet country, the wines are crafted with a deliberately light hand: little or no skin contact, no malolactic, no oak. The aim is purity, letting each grape variety speak clearly.

From the crisp, saline Picpoul that is the cellar’s speciality to a fragrant Viognier and a bright, peppery Carignan, these are fresh, modern, food-friendly wines. Mediterranean sunshine and sea breezes, beautifully caught.
