The wine region of Blanquette de Limoux
France's first sparkling AOC (1938, predating Champagne): Mauzac signature sparkling white king (≥90%, 'blanquette' for white down on leaf underside) complemented by Chenin and Chardonnay — traditional or ancestral method (bottling March descending moon, 100% Mauzac) signatures, light profile with very fine bubbles and typical green apple and pear notes, delicate sweetness. Mediterranean influences and Pyrenean freshness, slow ripening.
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: 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.
