The wine region of Saint-Drézéry
Languedoc AOC 25 km northeast of Montpellier (hills at 70–160 m, calcareous soils with sandstone, marls, gravelly clays and characteristic rounded pebbles, low-rainfall Mediterranean): Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre are the signature reds in blends (≥70%) — full-bodied and concentrated with ripe black fruits, liquorice and spice notes, tannin structure softened by limestone. Carignan and Cinsault as complements, in the Grès de Montpellier sector.
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Largest single French vineyard, dominated by sunny, generous reds. Spicy Syrah, candied Grenache (ripe fruit, garrigue), structured Carignan, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Stars: structured Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian; round Côtes-du-Roussillon. Legendary vins doux naturels: Banyuls and Maury (fortified Grenache) with notes of cocoa, fig, prune.
The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
