Languedoc AOC on signature Palaeozoic schist, foothills of the Massif Central. Dense, mineral reds dominate: vibrant Syrah with signature notes of blackberry, violet, black pepper, garrigue and a smoky touch, tight tannins. Sun-drenched Grenache (ripe cherry, kirsch, spice), Mourvèdre compulsory for depth (leather, game, liquorice) — the only Languedoc AOC to require it. Carignan and Cinsault in support.
