Château Veronique 2012 Carignan-Grenache (Saint-Chinian)

Country: France /
Variety: Carignan-Grenache Languedoc-Roussillon
Winery: Château Veronique / Saint-Chinian

This eco-friendly wine is demure and elegant on the nose, with medium-intense aromas of black fruit, incense, tree bark, licorice root and schist. The palate offers more oomph, with firm, gripping tannins that yield a tight structure. Slightly smoky black cherry and berry flavors help to flesh out the palate, before transitioning into the peppery, gamy finish. Drink 2018–2022.
