Rouge 2020

Country: France
Region: Roussillon
Grape variety: Carignan
Alcohol by volume: 11%
Bottle size: 0,75 l

100% Carignan from old vines planted in 1900. Like most red wines from Tom Lubbe and Rouge is no exception. The wine is full of energy with a fine nose, more lighter red fruits, some herbs and very little tannin.

On our visit to Domaine Matassa we tried a 2012 Rouge and it was especially delicious and one could tell the age gave the wine an elegance we haven't experienced in younger Rouges before. We learned from Tom Lubbe that he considers Blanc and Rouge to be wines that should mature in the bottle and to be drunk after 5-10 years or later. Saying that, this wine will only get more complex and refined in the years to come.
