Vallée du Paradis Carignan Vielles Vignes Domaine des deux Clés 2022

The Vallée du Paradis Carignan Vieilles Vignes from Domaine des Deux Clés is a Languedoc red crafted entirely from Carignan. In the glass, it reveals a deep, dark red colour with subtle purple hues, which may evolve and take on more complexity as it matures.
On the nose, the wine offers a rich and complex bouquet, dominated by ripe black fruits like blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by spicy notes of pepper and liquorice and the occasional delicate floral hints of violet. With age, the wine develops tertiary aromas of leather, tobacco, and undergrowth, enriched by subtle woody notes. On the palate, the lively and clean attack is complemented by a refreshing acidity that brings freshness and balance. The tannins are smooth and well integrated, supporting the dark fruit and spice flavours, with a long, persistent finish that lingers beautifully. This wine pairs wonderfully with grilled red meats, slow-cooked stews, or mature cheeses like Roquefort. A beautiful expression of the typical Carignan style, combining structure with elegance.
