The wine region of Coteaux de Béziers
Languedoc IGP between the Libron and Orb rivers (Mediterranean climate, 400-800 mm): Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault reign in reds with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon — fruity aromas, soft fine tannins, light and rounded structure. Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon in whites with remarkable fruity and floral aromas. Varied soils (marls, tertiary colluvium north, quaternary alluvium south, sands), fresh aromatic expression.
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: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
