Description

100% high-quality Carignan grapes from, yes, 200-year-old vines. These old ladies give the wine an almost dark purple color, ripe aromas and refined tannins. The goal of the cuvée is to show the essence of the grape's character. Distinctly rich and round, dark fruit, slightly mineral and yet with a sharp edge. Carginan par excellence. Not to be misunderstood Languedoc-Roussillon, of course, from Olivier Pithon. Can easily remain for years.

Olivier Pithon, a winegrower in Calce, a village near Perpignan. Olivier is the brother of Jo Pithon, the famous winegrower from the Loire of Domaine Pithon-Paille . He ended up in Calce via Gérard Gauby, one of the best winegrowers in the region and a friend of his father, and decided to start his own domain. Today the domain has 15ha of vineyards, with 7ha of white and 8ha of red. Olivier has now become one of the leading winegrowers in the region and a pioneer for the new generation.

The subsoil here contains schist, slate, loam and limestone and Olivier seems to be a master in letting that terroir express itself. He works biodynamically and only works with local grape varieties.
Especially his top wines are real terroir wines, grape, soil, air, climate all come to the surface in his wines paired with a high minerality. A clean and neat style.
