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.

Dark red-ruby. Smoky, truffley aroma of redcurrant, red cherry and tobacco; distinct note of fruit compote. Superripe and jammy in the mouth; quite fat for the vintage. Finishes with grainy tannins and a hint of acidity. The mourvedre tasted like grenache in '97, noted Vaille. I did not taste the '99 cabernet so I can't comment on the '99 red. But the syrah I tasted was ripe-bordering-on-confectionery, and three lots of mourvedre showed super-sweetness of fruit and uncanny acidity. The richest lot, which probably will not be part of the '99 assemblage, was harvested early, with an incredible 18.5% potential alcohol. It still carried 50 grams per liter of residual sugar in early May but came across as only moderately sweet due to its razor-sharp 10 grams per liter of acidity (expressed as tartaric).
