Medium ruby with cherry, blueberry, white pepper, garrigue aromas with subtle floral and menthol notes. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with juicy acidity and velvety tannins with black and red cherry, blueberry, boysenberry flavors accented with dried herb and peppery notes. Medium plus finish.
Parisian Jeff Carrel was looking to make wines and found his way to the south of France where he has achieved some great status as a roving winemaker. It is a dual homage meaning "parents" in his native neighborhood in Paris and also referencing Grenache and Carignan, the parent grape varieties to all red wines in Languedoc-Roussillon. The fruit organically farmed fruit comes from Laure-Minervois and from vines that are 40+ years old. This year's blend is a 70% Grenache, 30% Syrah. The grapes are destemmed before fermentation, the wine sees no oak.

Very pale salmon with red berries, pear pink grapefruit, brioche, flint, and subtle citrus blossom aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with strawberry, raspberry, ripe pear, pink grapefruit, ginger, subtle kumquat flavors with an appealing wet stone minerality.
