The “Ooh La La-nguedoc” Urban Sampler: $50
The appellation of Languedoc, located in the South of France, is the country’s largest and most dynamic wine region. A unique blend of Mediterranean soil, wind, and sun produce healthy vineyards which boast sustainable agriculture. Languedoc produces a wealth of grape varieties, both indigenous and international, that are sure to captivate the palates of both old and new world drinkers! ($66 of wine for $50)
- NV Domaine Collin Chardonnay with Pinot Noir & Chenin Blanc (Limoux): Dating back to the 1500s, the appellation of Limoux made the world’s first sparkling wine. While making white wines, Benedictine monks fitted their bottles with cork tops, which acquired a natural sparkle. Domaine Collin is an elegant Cremant de Limoux with lively acidity, richness and texture. Champagne taste without the Champagne price!
- 2010 Gaujal de Saint Bon Picpoul de Pinet (Pinet): Picpoul de Pinet is a small sub-appellation located in close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. Domaine Gaujal St. Bon is an estate-bottled operation run by a mother-daughter team, Simone and Virginie Gaujal, who endeavor to make the finest expressions of picpoul – fermenting with “natural” yeasts and aging on lees (dead yeast cells) up to 8 months before bottling. Fresh and soft, this wine will enliven any light seafood fare!
- 2011 Domaine de Fontsainte “Gris de Gris” Rosé of Grenache Gris & Noir: Corbieres, the largest appellation of Languedoc, was once known for cheap, simple red wine produced in vast quantities to quench the thirst of Northern France. Now in good vintages these wines compete with France’s most famous regions. This rosé combines the richness of fruit with superb acidity. Ideal as an aperitif with olives, or with fowl avec Herbs de Provence!
- 2008 Chateau Fabas “Mourral” Syrah with Grenache & Mouvedre (Minervois): Minervois is perched in the hills of Languedoc’s northwest corner. While Minervois is known for light, fruit red wines, Chateau Fabas wines are substantial and packed with rich fruit flavors. The “Mourral” is aged in oak, which increases the body and the wine’s ability to age. This is a great food wine that will make its presence known against rich dishes and the most pungent of sauces.
