UNE ET MILLE NUITS 2014 - DOMAINE CANET VALETTE

Saint Chinian AOC

TO ENHANCE THIS DISH: A WONDERFUL MATCH

This must-have wine is true to its brand image: a light red wine capable of delighting the most demanding palates.

Une et Milles Nuits 2018

To sublimate this plate of stewed lamb shank, the Domaine Canet-Valette delivers a wine that is rich but sincere and hearty. A full-bodied red wine in the purest Languedoc tradition! A culinary experience guaranteed!

Composed of the 5 great traditional Languedoc grape varieties (Mourvèdre, 20% Cinsault, 20% Grenache noir, 20% Syrah, 20% Carignan), this organic Saint-Chinian explodes with the scents of the garrigue. A complex hybrid wine, halfway between a light wine and an ageing wine.

Very concentrated on the palate, it expresses its delicacy through silky tannins which marry marvellously well with the melting of the potatoes and the tender and mellow flesh of the meat.
