This is a sipping gin

From the producer: There is a verve to this wine

with salty nectarine and lime followed by a spicy

and Cabernet Franc shows lovely leather

A brand new Bollinger bottling with a name short and to the point

Domaine Lionnet Rien Que du Carignan 2021 0426JACKSON This is a sipping ginA revelation: 95 year old Carignan vines from the schist slopes of Saint Chinian, bottled for only the third time from this ancient half hectare parcel. Punchily spicy yet beguiling in its purity, this deeply mineral expression flirts with elegance, offering raspberry, redcurrant, and a whisper of dried cranberry. Fermented naturally and aged in used barrelspure, uncompromising Carignan that demands discovery.
