Syrah, Grenache and Carignan have been grown on shale, clay and limestone soils before being vinified in concrete vats. The wine was then aged for15 months in vats. This means it can fully express the natural and freshness of its fruity notes through its blackberry, cherry and plum aromas. The clean and delicate palate allows flavoursome pairings with summer cooking for example.

Faugères Calmel & Joseph Les Terroirs serve at a temperature of 14°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Tian de légumes du soleil, Bavette de boeuf grillée et poivronnade, Canard rôti aux cèpes.

Information about domain Calmel & Joseph
