Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is a renowned wine region located in the south of France, stretching along the Mediterranean coast from the Rhone delta to the Pyrenees Mountains. With its vast vineyards, it is one of the largest wine-growing areas in the world, producing a wide variety of wines, including red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines.


The region's winemaking history dates back to the 5th century BC and has been influenced by various cultures and civilizations. In 2016, the Languedoc-Roussillon region merged with the Midi-Pyrénées region to form the new Occitanie region. The Languedoc-Roussillon AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) is a prestigious designation for wines produced in the region which meet specific criteria such as grape variety, vineyard location, and winemaking techniques. The AOC includes several sub-regions, each with its unique terroir and style of wine, offering wine enthusiasts a diverse range of wines to explore.


Languedoc-Roussillon is renowned for producing innovative and creative Rosé wines with various flavours and styles thanks to the region's warm climate and diverse terroir. Popular grape varieties used in Rosé wines include Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault. Notable Rosé wines from the region include the Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé and the Mas de Daumas Gassac Rosé Frizant.


The region is also well-known for its full-bodied and complex red wines, which range from rich and fruity to earthy and savory. The warm Mediterranean climate and rocky soils make it a perfect place to grow a variety of grape varieties, including Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cinsault. Notable red wines from the region include the Domaine de la Grange des Pères, Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge, and the La Peira en Damaisela Terrasses du Larzac Rouge. Languedoc-Roussillon winemakers are renowned for experimenting with new winemaking techniques, such as blending different grape varieties or ageing the wine in oak barrels, resulting in a diverse range of red wines that cater to different tastes.

Primarily Carignan planted in 1909, the 2016 Minervois Les Carretals aged entirely in barrel. Boasting classy aromas of crushed stone, vanilla and baking spices, it is medium to full-bodied on the palate and finishes crisp and firm, with dusty tannins and bright cherry fruit. Give it until 2020 and then drink it over the next decade.

I loved the 2015 Minervois les Fontanilles and it’s one of the bigger, richer wines in the lineup. Made from equal parts Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan, aged in equal parts stainless steel and barrel, it offers outstanding notes of black raspberries, cassis and a liquid rock like minerality. Like all the wines here, it has an inherent elegance and freshness (probably due to this higher elevation, unique terroir), and I suspect will evolve nicely for 4-6 years.

Half of the 2016 Minervois Les Fontanilles aged in oak, the rest in tank. The blend of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault is from a plot on cool, north-facing terroir that is surrounded by garrigue, and those elements—rosemary, thyme, bay leaf—figure prominently in the wine, infusing the bright red-cherry fruit with hints of resinous herbs. Medium to full-bodied, it's crisp and long on the finish, ending with mouthwatering acidity.

An impressive Chardonnay from the limestone soils of Limoux, the 2016 Grand Vin Blanc could rival a decent Meursault. It's buttery and toasty up front, but it backs those oaky notes with plenty of plump pear and melon fruit. Medium-bodied, it's intense, concentrated and long, finishing with bright citrus and a lingering note of pencil shavings.

Tasted just two weeks prior to bottling, the 2016 Côtes de Roussillon Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem was in fine form. Tarry, blueberry notes from the high-altitude Syrah dominate, but they're rounded out by Grenache's cherry fruit in this medium to full-bodied wine. Grown at 350 meters above sea level, it shows admirable restraint and fine, silky tannins for a wine from a hot, dry vintage.

Slightly more ripe, voluptuous and textured than the more Syrah-dominated l’Esquerda, the translucent purple-colored 2013 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem comes from the schist soils around the village of Latour de France. A blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Carignan that was harvest on September 15 and aged all in concrete tanks, it’s a fabulous wine that offers elegant notes of red and black raspberries, roasted herbs, pepper, melted licorice and asphalt. These flow to a medium to full-bodied 2013 that has a full, layered mid-palate, beautiful fruit, fine tannin and a classically focused, dry finish. It continues to freshen up in the glass, has integrated acidity and lots of class. Buy this brilliant wine by the case and drink it over the coming decade.

One of the more polished, sexy examples of the cuvee, the 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem checks in as a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and the balance Carignan and Mourvèdre, aged all in concrete tanks. It boasts killer notes of black raspberries, cassis, pepper and licorice, with just a hint of chocolate appearing with time in the glass. This medium to full-bodied, layered and beautifully textured red is an incredible value and will be impossible to resist over the coming 4-5 years, and I’m sure it will keep even longer.

A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, the 2016 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Visitare Interiore Terrae features classy notes of struck flint, crushed stone and pencil shavings, all backed by mixed berry fruit. This medium to full-bodied red's tannins are slightly more pronounced than in some other Bila Haut bottlings, but they stay ripe and silky through the long finish.

Deeply colored, with beautiful currants, chocolate, dried earth, and ground herbs, the 2017 Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Latour De France Visitare Interiore Terrae is full-bodied and has a rounded, sexy, opulent texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s a much more opulent, Southern Rhône styled effort compared to the more Syrah-dominated RI release.

The juice in 2012 didn't have quite the huge concentration and extract of the 2011, so the choice was made to use a little less new oak for a shorter time. There is certainly some grace to this wine - some pretty redcurrant and high-toned notes to the chocolatey sweet fruit. Herb-stashed and savoury with fantastic mid-palate richness of Cassis fruit and firm, polished tannin, this will reveal so much more with a few more years in bottle - Herve Bizuel feels that the wine shuts down in its second year and takes a little while to re-open.
