Vintage details
A blend of 37% Syrah with 25% Grenache, 23% Cinsault and 15% Mourvèdre. The unoaked Garennes Rouge is deep black-red in colour, with rich, vibrant fruit aromas of plum, blackcurrant and blackberry, combined with a clean, savoury intrigue. The palate is concentrated, deep and vivid, with great purity of fruit and Capion’s hallmark lively acidity: a fresh, pristine, juicy yet complex red from fastidiously sorted fruit, beautifully packaged and offering terrific value for money.

Tasting notes
les Chemins des Garennes is Capion's solid second wine. It's rich, velvety and ripe, medium to full-bodied on the palate and loaded with cherry-berry fruit. With its plush texture, it's easy to drink young. Joe Czerwinski
