Baron De Badassiere Carignan is a red wine produced in the Languedoc region of France. The wine is made from the Carignan grape, which is a common grape variety in the Languedoc region.

Baron De Badassiere are a famous Picpoul producer, however, they do have small holdings of Carignan that they use to make this fantastic table wine.

The name Badassière comes from the vineyard, located close to the unincorporated community of Pomérols. The vineyard was once owned by Baron Charles Emmanuel, a big character who was supposed to be King Louis XV’s stepson. The wines are created by a New Zealand winemaker Alana McGettigan and consultant Matt Thomson at the Cave de Pomérols cooperative.

This red made from 100% Carignan grapes is a rich and full-bodied wine, sourced from the estate’s vineyards in the Pays d’O, and it perfectly captures the essence of the Languedoc. It is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm tannins that give it good ageing potential. It has been aged for 12 months in oak barrels, which impart a subtle hint of vanilla and toasted oak flavours.

In the glass, Baron De Badassiere Carignan has a deep ruby colour with purple highlights. The nose is rich and fruity, with aromas of dark fruit such as blackberry, plum, and black cherry, as well as notes of spice and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with soft tannins and a smooth texture. Flavours of ripe fruit dominate, with hints of herbs and black pepper adding complexity.

Baron De Badassiere Carignan food pairing suggestion: it is an excellent wine to enjoy with rich, meaty dishes, such as roasted lamb, beef stew, or hearty pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces. It is also a great match for strong, mature cheeses.
