Carambouille is a chillable, Grenache-led natural red from one of France's most respected cooperatives — Les Vignerons d'Estezargues in the Rhone Valley. Translucent ruby in the glass, bursting with fresh cherry and grenadine, and dangerously easy to drink. The name means ""hoax"" in local dialect, but the wine is the real deal.
This is a red wine that wants to be chilled. Pull it from the fridge, pour it at around 9–11°C, and watch it come alive — crunchy red fruit, sweet spice, tangerine on the edges. It's 70% Grenache with Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Mourvedre and a dash of Counoise, blended into something that's fresh, supple and ridiculously drinkable. Aged six months in concrete, nothing more.
Les Vignerons d'Estezargues have been making natural wine since before it was trendy — the cooperative shifted to minimal-intervention winemaking in the 1980s, and nearly all its vineyards are now certified organic. No commercial yeast, no enzymes, no fining, no filtration. The vines for Carambouille are 25 years old on average, planted in heavy clay mixed with pebbles that naturally keep yields low and flavour concentrated.
Carambouille looks the part too. It's the kind of bottle you'd leave out on the table at a dinner party — clean, contemporary, French without trying too hard. At this price, you're getting serious natural wine quality from a producer that supplies some of the world's best wine lists. Your kitchen counter deserves this.
Rebecca founded Emile Wines after 15 years working with one of the UK's most respected Burgundy importers, and her portfolio reflects that depth of experience. Every wine is chosen for a reason — independent producers, mostly organic or biodynamic, making wines that end up on restaurant lists at Noble Rot and Sketch. Emile Wines bridges the gap between the trade and people who just want something genuinely good to drink at home.

Hosting people? This is your bottle. Carambouille is crowd-friendly in the best way — light enough for warm evenings, interesting enough for wine-curious mates, and chillable enough to pour all afternoon without anyone getting heavy-lidded. Stick it in the fridge alongside a few beers and let people discover it.
It's also a brilliant midweek red. With a bowl of pasta, some grilled halloumi, or honestly just on its own — Carambouille doesn't need a reason. If you enjoy lighter, fruit-forward reds, explore our full red wine range for more like this.

Carambouille is translucent ruby with a generous nose of fresh cherry, grenadine, tangerine and sweet spice. On the palate it's round, crunchy and fresh — packed with soft red fruit and a moreish grip on the finish. It's 13.5% ABV, medium-bodied, and best served chilled at 9–11°C.
It's incredibly versatile. Charcuterie boards, grilled vegetables, pizza, a simple roast chicken — Carambouille works with all of it. It's also brilliant as an aperitif on its own, especially chilled on a warm evening. Think real food, not fine dining.

Yes — Carambouille is designed to be served chilled. Take it out of the fridge a couple of hours before serving, or pour it at around 9–11°C. Chilling it brings out the fresh fruit character and makes it even more drinkable.
