Mas Combarèla "Les Vieux Mazets" (carignan) red 2019

Hachette Wine Guide 2023 : 1*/3 (very successful wine) : 75 years for these old vines of carignan that do not rush to reveal their aromas of black fruits and spices. Quite young, with good volume, concentrated and round on the attack, the palate, currently corseted by firm tannins, shows the same restraint. Well-built and designed to last, it is best left to rest in the cellar for a long time.

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

Very aromatic wine with notes of candied blackberry and balsamic laurel. The 70-year-old carignans at their peak produce a wine of elegant purity.

Appellation : Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert

Grapes : 100% Carignan

Vineyards : Combarels in Saint-Jean-de-Fos (34)

Terroirs : Old goblet-trained vines of 70 years on clay-limestone soils, exposed to northern winds. Located on an ancient lake plain from the Tertiary era (Lutetian, 40 million years ago), the soils are varied with a predominance of lacustrine white limestone. The landscape is dotted with old mazets.

Aging : Aging in large wooden casks from several wines.

Serving Temperature : 16-17° C. Open beforehand to aerate the wine. Decanting is recommended.

Suggestions : Roast lamb rack, game, but also tagines and oriental dishes
