The wine region of Côtes de Thongue
Languedoc IGP from the Thongue basin (Hérault, 23 villages): Syrah, Grenache, Merlot, Cabernet, Carignan and Mourvèdre signatures in fruity reds with notes of cherry, blackberry, raspberry, liquorice, spices and a Mediterranean touch, supple tannins. Generous rosés and whites (Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Viognier, Vermentino, Muscat): fresh, floral and fruity. Very open IGP (119 authorised varieties). Varied soils (marl, clay, gravel), Mediterranean climate.
The wine region of Pays d'Oc
The single-grape IGP par excellence: modern, accessible, frank and fruity wines, the popular signature of the Midi. Spicy Syrah reds (pepper, blackberry), round Merlot, structured Cabernet, generous Grenache, supple Cinsault. Crisp, tangy rosés. Opulent Chardonnay whites, lively Sauvignon, floral, apricoty Viognier.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
