Carignan (60%), Grenache (25%), Aubun (15%)
It requires no modicum of effort to get with the programme when what’s on the menu is this fresh and lively Beaujolais-style, carbonic maceration of Carignan and Aubun. Aubun, a local and disappearing red grape, is a black-skinned variety that integrates cautious acidity with soft tannins. Bursting with wild floral notes, red berries, ripe plums and white pepper, this fruit-forward and light- to medium-bodied glou glou juice is as charming as it is versatile. Serve it slightly chilled for an even more quaffable delight.
