Le trou de l'Ermite du Château de Caraguilhes has a dense nose marked by beautiful fruit full of freshness. It develops on deep notes of blackberry and licorice, followed by rosemary and thyme. The palate has a round, full attack, underlined by dark berry aromas and hints of black tapenade. The freshness of the mid-palate gives the wine real personality. The power is there with its gentle Mediterranean character.Jancis Robinson: 16.50/20The Château de Caraguilhes is a superb Corbières estate protected by 5 hectares of garrigue, constituting a rich ecosystem and a unique environment. Situated some 3 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea at altitudes ranging from 1 to 18 meters, the Caraguilhes vineyard is exposed to a north-westerly wind (the Tramontane) that naturally sanitizes the vines by limiting fungal diseases and the density of insect pests. This wind also induces ambient coolness in the vineyard during hot summer days, helping to maintain good levels of acidity in the grapes and ensure slower, more complete ripening. The Château de Caraguilhes has been organic since 1992 to best assert its terroir and produce wines with strong personality. A great success story!
