Domaine des Célestes, Arcturus 2022

Domaine des Célestes Arcturus 2022 is a characterful Carignan from Languedoc, offering the sort of depth, freshness, and rustic charm that makes this southern French grape so compelling. As a wine from one of France’s most expressive sun-soaked regions, it reflects both local tradition and a modern focus on balance and drinkability.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby core with purple reflections, hinting at youthful energy and concentration. The nose leans toward dark berries, black cherry, Mediterranean herbs, and a subtle earthy spice, with Carignan’s naturally savory, wild-fruited profile adding complexity. On the palate, expect a medium- to full-bodied red with lively acidity, firm but approachable tannins, and flavors of blackberry, plum, dried herbs, and a touch of peppery minerality. Arcturus 2022 should be enjoyable in its youth, but a few years of cellaring may help soften the tannins and bring out even more earthy, layered nuances.

Production
Sourced from Languedoc, where warm Mediterranean days and cooling influences help Carignan achieve ripeness while preserving freshness, this wine reflects the grape’s natural affinity for the region. Specific harvest and vinification details are not provided, so further production specifics are unavailable.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red for grilled meats, roast lamb, sausages, ratatouille, and hearty Mediterranean dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and decant if young to help open up the aromatics and soften the structure.

Producer
