2016 Jeff Carrel “Sous La Montagne” Fitou, Languedoc, France

50% Carignan / 27% Syrah / 23% Grenache

Sous la Montagne (Below the Mountain) is a new project from winemaker Jeff Carrel and his associate Sebastien Calduch. This range of estate-bottled and ngociant wines is sourced from top sites in the Roussillon and western Languedoc, showcasing the pure, unadorned fruit from old vines planted in brilliant granite and schist-based terroirs.
