Tasting Wines from the South of France
Think you know France? Quick - name five appellations in Languedoc-Roussillon!
Languedoc-Roussillon has a Mediterranean climate, a combined vineyard area that is 3 times larger than that of Bordeaux, and is, as they say, "older than the hills". Amid its diverse collection of rocky and clay soils are limestone and dolomite caves that house the famous, 20 thousand year old cave-paintings of Lascaux.
In this "all red" tasting, we'll compare wines from 5 different Châteaux from 5 different appellations inside the region - all made from a similar blend of grapes including Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Carignan.
How different can they taste? Find out for yourself!
We'll taste
- Château de Lascaux AOC Languedoc Rouge
