This brooding and complex Carignan comes from 65-year-old vines in the l'Angely vineyard, located in the La Livinière Premier Cru of Minervois. Fermented in steel tanks with 40% matured in 1-2 year old French oak barriques, it delivers opulent notes of bramble and blueberry with distinctive garrigue aromatics. At 14.5% ABV, this 2019 vintage offers both power and finesse.

Boulevard Napoléon wines embody the same philosophy as St. JOHN's nose-to-tail cooking, respecting the land, the farmer, and the essential character of each harvest. Benjamin and Trevor's low-intervention winemaking celebrates the precious terroir of Southwest France, allowing each varietal to express its true nature without unnecessary manipulation.

This fine wine selection is perfect for serious food lovers who appreciate the gutsy but nuanced approach that earned St. JOHN its Michelin star while maintaining its defiantly casual style.

Why It Stands Out

  • Old Vine Heritage: From 65-year vines delivering exceptional concentration.
  • Premier Cru Terroir: La Livinière's distinguished growing region.
  • Low-Intervention Method: Respecting the grape's natural expression.
  • Thoughtful Maturation: Partial oak aging for complexity without overwhelming.
  • 100% Vegan: Ethically produced without animal products.

Tasting Notes

Expect a rich, full-bodied red with opulent bramble and blueberry fruits, complemented by savoury garrigue herbs and subtle oak influence, powerful yet balanced with a long, satisfying finish.

About The Producer

Boulevard Napoléon wines are produced in the partners' own winery in Minervois, with the same philosophy that guides St. JOHN's cooking: authentic expression, respect for raw materials, and a commitment to nurturing the land for generations to come.
