Château de Lascaux - Pic Saint-Loup - Carra - Rouge - 2022

Wine:

A tribute to the limestone of its terroir, the 2022 red Pic Saint-Loup Carra is primarily a highly effective Syrah-Grenache duo. The floral aspect and a hint of smokiness from the Syrah create a rather fresh and precise ensemble. The texture, free from richness or heaviness, unfolds sincerely with fresh, juicy fruit and great balance. This wine is ready to drink within 3 to 5 years and benefits from aeration or decanting before serving to fully release all its aromas.

Certified organic and biodynamic wine.

Intense red with violet highlights.
