Baron d'Arignac Dry Red 75cl
You know those nights when you just want a red that gets on with it? This is that bottle. Baron d'Arignac Dry Red is soft, rounded and full of juicy red fruit, the kind you pour without a second thought while the nyama choma is still on the grill. No big tannins to wrestle, no homework required. Crack it, sip it, top up your mate's glass.
First sniff: fresh red fruit, redcurrant and raspberry, with a little spicy lift in the background. On the tongue it's ample and round, soft and supple rather than bold. The grip is gentle, so it goes down smooth without drying your mouth out. Carignan brings the dark berry depth, Grenache the warmth and that round, generous feel. It's dry, so it finishes clean, not sweet. Honest, fruity, easy company.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
It comes from the south of France, with the Carignan and Grenache grown down in the Aude in Languedoc-Roussillon, on deep alluvial soils of silt, clay and sand. It's vat-vinified, which keeps it fresh and fruit-forward rather than oaky. The Baron d'Arignac name is run by Les Grands Chais de France, one of the country's biggest family-owned wine houses, the people behind a serious chunk of France's wine exports. So it's a proper French red made at a scale that keeps the price friendly.
