The wine region of Pic-Saint-Loup
Languedoc flagship AOC north of Montpellier, shaded by its emblematic peak: signature Syrah as king red (≥50%) with Grenache and Mourvèdre — deep robe with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, violet, garrigue, liquorice and spices, fine tannins and signature mineral freshness from altitude, long finish. Fresh, moreish rosés as backup. Autonomous AOC since 2017 (~1,200 ha), garrigue limestone terroirs, Mediterranean climate tempered by cool nights.
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: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
