Boulevard Napoléon `L'Angely` Carignan l'Hérault VdP from Minervois, France, is a vibrant Red wine crafted by Trevor Gulliver. This dry Carignan, sourced from 90-year-old vines planted on limestone clay soils, offers a ripe and spicy nose with distinctive black olive tapenade notes. Fermented in stainless steel and partially aged in French oak barriques, it delivers juicy berries and a supple texture on the palate, leading to a long and satisfying finish. A versatile choice, it pairs beautifully with red meats and mature cheeses. This wine is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Fermentation took place in small stainless-steel tanks with gentle extraction techniques. Following fermentation, the majority of the wine (60%) was aged in stainless steel tanks while the remaining 40% was aged in a combination of first and second use 225-litre French oak barriques.
