Old-vine Carignan with Syrah and a little Grenache - a Roussillon red wine from high in the Pyrenean foothills.
Medium plum in the glass. Graphite and red fruit run through it, with firm tannins for grip. An elegant acidity keeps it fresh. Sixteen years on, it deserves some time in a decanter before you pour.

"Carignan is the main grape here, grown on old vines up in the foothills of the Pyrenees. It's a 2010, so I'd give it an hour in a decanter before dinner and see how it opens up. Something slow-cooked would be my pick."
Le Soula sits in the Fenouillèdes, a hilly part of Roussillon in the Pyrenean foothills, with 22 hectares of vines at 350 to 600 metres on mainly granite soils. Winemaker Gérard Gauby found the site in 2001, along with some abandoned vineyards, and set it up in partnership with UK wine merchants Roy Richards and Mark Walford. The vineyards have been organic from the start and biodynamic since 2008.
A mature Roussillon red wine from old-vine Carignan, with graphite, red fruit and firm tannins. A good bottle for a slow-cooked Sunday supper.
