Benjamin Darnault Cru La Livinière Carignan 2017
About the wine
Velvety old-vine Carignan from a single vineyard in the heart of Southern France
- Ben’s luxurious Languedoc red is a racy dive into juicy, vibrant flavors of raspberry, with a sultry backbone of spice and a velveteen smoothness that’s simply irresistible.
- Your support helped Ben track down some of Southern France’s finest fruit, growing in a single vineyard lined with heritage 70-year-old vines, and helped him give this luscious red the full treatment in the cellar.
- The old vines of this esteemed vineyard are super low yielding, which means Ben could only harvest enough fruit to make a few hundred cases of this robust red. Make sure you scoop a bottle up for yourself while there are still a few to be had.
Best before
This lush red will age well for the next 5-10 years.
Serving advice
For best results, let this red breathe for a few minutes before serving it at around 60ºF.
