LES RESERVES BLANC
LES RESERVES BLANC
While our region has earned a reputation for producing fine red wine, whites from its traditional grapes have not always been quite as impressive. We worked very hard with white Grenache, Roussanne and Viognier from our best vineyards to create this Languedoc of which we are really proud. It can be compared to similar blends from the Rhône, but it has its own regional character.
TASTING NOTES
This is an unusually perfumed example of white wine from this region, with a creamy texture, appley, limey fruit and a lovely hint of floral perfume. The oak is subtly in the background.
FOOD STYLE
Freshly enjoyable by itself, this is perfect seafood wine but has enough character to match light red meat dishes.

LES RESERVES ROUGE
LA RESERVES ROUGE
The brilliantly presented wine which we have not produced in every vintage, is the richest and most complex of the Grand Noir range. It showcases the best Syrah and Grenache vineyards and the characteristic character of the Languedoc appellation. We mature the wine in oak barrels, but take care not to allow the flavour of the wood to intrude on the fruit. Like its white counterpart, it is often paired with special dishes and offered as a gift.
TASTING NOTES
The Syrah gives the soft, rich dark bramble fruit with some white pepper, while the Grenache contributes some cherry and strawberry character and some additional spice. These flavors are complemented by subtle vanilla & coffee notes from the oak casks.
FOOD STYLE
Perfect with all rich meat dishes, including beef, lamb and game such as venison and pheasant.
