A blend of Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah from prestigious terroirs such as Minervois and La Clape, Les Darons by Jeff Carrel is meticulously crafted. Harvesting is both manual and mechanical, followed by precise vinification with punch-downs to optimally extract aromas. This meticulously orchestrated tank aging results in an intense garnet hue and a silky texture, making it a charismatic and approachable cuvée.
