This Chilean red wine from the J. Bouchon estate is made from 100% of the Carménère grape variety, in the Mingre vineyard. The vines are planted in the driest region of the Valle de Maule, on poor rocky soils with little irrigation, with large temperature differences between day and night.

This Carménère 2020 offers a deep carmine red colour and a rich nose with aromas of ripe red and black fruits (cherries and blackberries), with light notes of black pepper. On the palate, it expresses itself on a beautiful structure, ample and round, with supple and juicy tannins. It will be the perfect accompaniment to red and white meats, an Indian vegetable curry or spicy Mexican dishes. A wine to be enjoyed from now until 2030.

The Carménère grape variety was known in Bordeaux for several centuries but the arrival of phylloxera in the 19th century wiped out the vineyard and today there are only a few dozen hectares in France. It was in Chile that we found in the 90s a few Carménère plants that allowed the development of the cultivation of this grape variety in Chile.
