Syrah leads the way with blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, liquorice and black pepper, while Grenache and Mourvèdre add red fruit, wild herbs, black olive and a savoury, smoky edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is generous and expressive, with supple tannins, ripe black fruit and a lovely garrigue lift. The 2022 vintage brings warmth and spice, but the wine never feels heavy. Instead, it finishes with pepper, cade, black olive and a clean limestone freshness that makes it feel both satisfying and sharply defined.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA roast lamb dinner needs something sunlit, savoury and quietly serious.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRack of lamb with rosemary, lamb tagine, grilled sausages, beef stew, ratatouille, Provençal vegetables, mushroom dishes, tapas or aged hard cheeses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChâteau de Lascaux is one of Pic Saint-Loup’s most reliable names, rooted in the wild, limestone-rich landscape north of Montpellier. The Cavalier family has farmed here for generations, with Jean-Benoît Cavalier guiding the estate towards organic and biodynamic viticulture. Carra takes its name from an old word linked to stone and garrigue, a fitting tribute to the calcareous soils and aromatic scrubland that shape this confident, deeply regional red.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55818290200961,"sku":null,"price":13.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2022picsaintloup_chateaudeLascaux.png?v=1781859147","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2022-carra-pic-saint-loup-chateau-de-lascaux","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
