Taste

APPEARANCE: Deep purple with violet inflections; an expressive nose dominated by forest fruits. PALATE: A real fruit-burst is followed by prolonged notes of spice, finishing with elegant tannins.

Food

Perfect with grilled meat, or pork loin served with seasonal vegetables, this wine powerfully expresses the complexity of the Terrasses du Larzac terroir.

  1. Barbra – August 29, 2020

    This was my pick out of the box that I bought. It had so much flavour and was very smooth. I opened it with my fussy wine friend and they couldn’t guess where it came from. Thanks for making my night memorable.

  2. John – September 5, 2020

    The first thing that strikes you about this wine is the deep purple colour. It is lovely. The detailed black fruit and liquorice is quite concentrated which is nice. I have had a few Languedoc wines over the years, but this one has made me very interested in finding more of them. Particularly from Chateau Capion.

  3. Gilbert Barton – September 11, 2020

    There is so much to like about this red. I have now brought some more to keep for a few years too. It is really well balanced and because it has been matured in large format oak barrels, it means that the oak is more subtle. The fruit is fresh and bold with just a bit of spiciness. Just the way I like it.
