Description
The 70-year-old vines of Carignan blanc at Domaine Ledogar make this wine a benchmark of its kind: aromatic, full-bodied, lively and mouth-watering. Honeysuckle, aniseed, white flowers, citrus zest: the complexity is sublime, both on the nose and on the palate. This considerable aromatic richness is perfectly set in motion by the mineral and saline tension that runs through the wine from start to finish. Elegance is ensured by subtle bitter notes on the finish. A perfect match for spicy dishes, raclette or roasted sea bass with fennel.
