Outstanding! Crisp nose, fruity, touch of yeast. Great head, like a fresh home brew in the best possible way — 4 years ago
Drinking Burgundy in a Paris brasserie. Awesome, even if the wine isn’t that great 😊 — 10 months ago
If Corbières is the heart of Languedoc then surely Carignan (81%) is its soul. This is a terrific brasserie wine that brings abundant joy throughout the meal. Silly to score, but hey..... — 3 years ago
Color of clear ruby mixed with orange color, light. Nose of dried strawberry, aldehyde, spice, prune, complexes and fragrant, also some dates, a bit wet mushroom, and refine acidity note. Taste of refined acidity and subtle sweetness, fermented cabbage, ripe cranberry, dried strawberry, some Unami, hint of zest, almost no tannins, a bit peppery, and a bit flowering note. Taste is refined too. Aftertaste is medium long with savory notes from the taste plus oak. Nice one. — 4 years ago
Amazing that this is 9.5% because it's so easy to drink a 750mL bottle. It really is wine quality. I have a hard time identifying the nose on beers but it reminds me of being inside the cow feed silo as a kid. It smells like late summer harvest left to ferment.
It's a very clean taste of...... Wheat grass? — 2 years ago
Bottled 10/2021. An old favorite not had in years. I remember this being fresher with more citrus, playful. This edition is maltier, not quite as lively. Still delicious and a good match with homemade shawarma. To paraphrase Fernand Point— is it Saison DuPont that has changed, or have I? — 3 years ago
Best Bordeaux value I know. Beautiful brasserie wine that goes well with a myriad of foods. — 4 years ago
