Product Notes

The Baron de Badassière Carignan IGP Côtes de Thau is a sumptuous French wine boasting an arresting deep ruby hue. Originating from the celebrated vineyards south of Picpoul, it presents intense, complex characters on the palate, offering ripe-fruit notes interwoven with spice, the artefact of ageing in old oak barrels. This wine concludes with a soft, supple finish, featuring just the right amount of tannin for body. Elegantly balanced, with an excellent persistence on the finish, it is a superb accompaniment to red meats and mature cheeses. An offering that truly portrays the exquisite craftsmanship of winemaking in the Côtes de Thau region.
