La Combe Saint-Paul, Rolle IGP Pays d'Oc, 2024
"Extremely attractive and stylish label. Lemony and lightly scented with blossom, plus a hint of fresh pears. Light-bodied, fresh and rounded in the mouth, as if it had spent time on the yeast lees, giving it a gently grip and more presence in the mouth. Fruity, soft finish. Undemanding all-rounder. GV" 16/20. Drink 2025–2026, Julia Harding MW, www.jancisrobinson.com, 22nd November 2025

Grenache / Garnacha
Grenache grows well in hot, dry regions, though it can develop very high (15 degrees+) alcohol.
As such it is grown principally in Southern France and Spain (as Garnacha). It is usually blended with other varieties in the Southern Rhône and Languedoc (Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, Cinsaut and others).
Its flavour usually encompasses the...

La Liquiere, Tutti Frutti Rouge, Vin de France 2024
"Full bottle 1,145 g. 60% Cinsault, 20% Syrah, and 20% Grenache. The vines are all from AOC Faugères but declassified to Vin de France. A wine that lives up to its name. Tutti frutti, but not at all jammy or confected. Just lively, fun, robust blackberry, plum and strawberry fruit laced up with lively tannins, a bit of liquorice and a menthol kiss." 16/20, 2025-2027, Tamlyn Currin, www.jancisrobinson.com, 9th August 2025

Carignan
Carignan is the grape which really distinguishes the red wines of the Languedoc and Roussillon from those of the southern Rhône (in the latter Grenache is ubiquitous and dominant, and Syrah and Mourvèdre are the preferred blending grapes).
It has been a much maligned grape. For example Jancis Robinson’s Oxford Companion to Wine thunders: "Carignan,...
