La Petite Verdiere Carignan 2023
Vincent Boyer (of Domaine de la Bastide in the Rhone) blends modern precision with old-school rusticity in his winemaking. He uses concrete and stainless steel while maintaining a hands-on approach and a strong human connection to his vines. A vibrant, pure expression of Carignan, this wine offers lifted aromas of wild herbs, violets, and crushed blackberries. The palate is energetic and layered, with a fine backbone of acidity and firm, dusty tannins that speak clearly of the rocky soils. Flavors of dark plum, black olive, and dried thyme evolve with air, finishing with freshness and tension. Rustic elegance meets old-vine concentration - a wine with both charm and staying power.
