Vivid ruby Carignan and another delightfully bright, luminous vintage, already drinking superbly in its youth. Fruit is freshly crushed black and red cherry with a herbal lilt of wild fennel garrigue and light balsamic twang, towards a lovely sense of limestone minerals in the finish. Of all the Mazel cuvées, Raoul feels to shift in appearance more noticeably from year to year - 2024 is what we'd describe as a classic vintage; dry, fruit-driven and with an unmistakable energy.

From 50 year-old vines planted over limestone and clay, the grapes undergo a ten-day carbonic maceration before being slowly pressed into steel to rest until the following spring before bottling with no additions.
