Rouge

Alain Carrère popped this bottle from the Roussillon, with Monsieur Matassa (Tom Lubbe, yes) at his side. Forget your old supermarket Grenache — this is the real deal. Raw, lively, and bursting with character.

Dark forest fruits, sultry plums, a touch of black olive and a fresh, mineral kick that will wake you up. Made from Carignan and Grenache as it should be: unadulterated, full of life, and with a price tag that will make your wallet smile too.

Red with a story. Drink it slightly chilled. Drink it often.
