Discover the charm of Olivier Coste Carignan Noir 'Jet'aime', a fresh, vibrant red wine from the sun-kissed vineyards of the Languedoc region in southern France. Crafted by Olivier Coste, whose winemaking heritage stretches back to 1701 in Pezenas, this wine is a testament to a passion for nature and sustainable viticulture. The organically grown Carignan Noir grapes hail from old vines in the Minervois, where the Mediterranean Sea's cooling breezes balance the intense southern sun, producing concentrated fruit of exceptional purity.
This boutique estate is known for its commitment to environmental responsibility, featuring an HVE Level 3 certification, a carbon-neutral approach, and ongoing sustainability projects such as solar energy installations and local biodiversity initiatives. Hand-harvested at night to preserve freshness, the grapes are fermented and matured in concrete vats to allow the true character of the fruit to shine. With low yields, traditional vineyard methods and quirky, modern packaging, Olivier Coste 'Jet'aime' reflects both heritage and innovation - making it a standout choice for wine lovers seeking both quality and personality.
