The wine region of Côtes du Roussillon
Catalan sun and Mediterranean character on the edge of the Pyrenees. Fleshy, sun-soaked reds with signature notes of candied black fruit (blackberry, plum), garrigue, pepper, liquorice and dark chocolate, firm tannins and generous warmth. Blends of Grenache (roundness), Syrah (spice), old-vine Carignan (power) and dense Mourvèdre. Also sunny rosés and ample whites (Grenache Blanc, Macabeu).
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.
