This wine is made up of predominantly Grenache, then Carignan, harvested by hand, and Syrah. The grapes are destemmed and crushed before being blended, with extraction by pigeage. They come from old vines of Languedoc, hence the name "les darons" which means "the fathers". Tasting notes Colour: To the eye, Les Darons has a deep colour with purple highlights. Nose: Notes of fruit yoghurt, with an airing of fruit (blueberry, plum, blackberry) and spices (cinnamon, white pepper). Palate: Dense and silky, combining fullness and tension to reveal ripe tannins. Finish: Powerful, full-bodied, tasty, it will surprise you with its light notes of mint. A red wine to be served at 16-18°C, to accompany red and white meats, poultry dishes in sauce, sheep's cheese or chilli con carne. It can be kept for 7 to 8 years in the cellar.
