XIII 2023

XIII is Ugo Lestelle's Carignan — 100% from Saint-Chinian, vinified using carbonic maceration and aged for at least 18 months in older oak barrels in the cellar at 563m altitude in Pardailhan. More structured and age-worthy than Point, built to last a bit longer. The number XIII is a nod to Ugo, who has been working in the vineyard since the age of 13.
