This addition to the Chai au Quai range has Languedoc specialist Mark Hoddy's expertise (and humour) stamped all over it. He is an ardent fan of Carignan, an underdog grape once known mainly for cheap rosé. Treat it with respect, however - that is, harvest it at low yields from old vines - and you can produce the most amazing red wine.Mark went searching and discovered two parcels of Carignan from 80 and 100 year old vines in Fitou, with ridiculously low yields thanks to precipitous, deep shale slopes littered with those big galet stones you find in Châteauneuf. A year in French oak has lent a subtle touch of toasty spice to its fennel, liquorice and bold black fruit taste. Enjoy calmly with slow roasted lamb shanks or other rich dishes.
