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.

Vinous (93)Prominent forest floor, dried strawberry and a gently raisined nuance give the 2007 Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Rouge an immediately seductive, fully evolved aromatic profile. Medium- to full-bodied and concentrated, the dense 2007 is showing extremely well today, with resolved tannins offering just enough grip, beautifully preserved freshness, a hedonistic intensity across the mid-palate and a juicy, elegant finale. The overall balance is striking, and well-stored bottles like this one should hold for another five years without difficulty. |

Vinous (93)The savoury 2020 Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Rouge opens with black fruit touched by kirsch, sun-drenched forest strawberry and earthy nuances, all carried by a hallmark of Mediterranean spiciness. A crushed rock note adds a retro-nasal mineral edge. There is a certain warm-vintage flamboyance here, yet the medium- to full-bodied 2020 remains beautifully light on its feet as fine-grained tannins impart gentle structure. L3 – N°0578. |
