Plant du Roc 2022

80-year-old Carignan, unfined and unfiltered.

100% Carignan from 80-year-old vines on a rocky, south-facing plateau overlooking the Pyrenees, on sandstone and mottled marl, cropped at 30 hL/ha. Hand-harvested with sorting in the vineyard, vinified as whole bunches with regular pump-overs and fermented naturally with native yeasts only – as the estate has done since 2006. After an extended post-fermentation maceration it spends 12 months in tank and is bottled without fining or filtration. A burst of blackcurrant and blackberry; bright, deep and frank, with silky tannins, balancing power with harmony and liveliness with smoothness.
