Les Darons Languedoc By Jeff Carrel - Item Code: 07616
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Les Darons Languedoc by Jeff Carrel opens with a bold, juicy character that makes it an easy choice for lively gatherings or relaxed evenings. With an ABV of 14%, this French red is crafted in the sun-drenched vineyards of Languedoc, where old-vine Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan grapes are blended to create a wine that balances tradition with approachability. The production focuses on minimal intervention to let the fruit express its regional identity.
On the palate, Les Darons delivers ripe blackberry and cherry flavors layered with hints of spice and earthy undertones. Subtle tannins and a touch of minerality give it structure without overwhelming the senses. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, enhancing the meat’s savory notes, while its depth stands up well to hard cheeses like aged Comté or Manchego. The combination brings out both the wine’s fruitiness and its rustic charm.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Ripe mulberries and black cherries abound in the 2017 Les Darons. It's medium to full-bodied, with touches of leather and smoke evident as well (despite being entirely unoaked), giving it an attractive savory complexity that's rare at this price point.

Wine & Spirits
A blend of grenache, syrah and carignan from Minervois, Corbières and La Clape, this is as saturated with sloe-berry flavor as it is bright and lifted. It smells of cedar fronds and lavender and tastes of berries and earth, with a cool-stone feel that makes it refreshing.
