The wine region of Côtes de Thau
Languedoc IGP northeast of the Thau lagoon (Hérault, 6 communes, 55,000 hl/year): Picpoul de Pinet and Terret Blanc as flagship whites (75%) — fresh attack, bright citrus and white flower aromatics, pale colour. Chardonnay, Muscat, Sauvignon Blanc and Vermentino as complements. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault in reds and rosés. Lagoonal influence and sea spray, distinctive saline freshness.
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: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
