AOP Malpere
50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec
Raise a glass of dazzling garnets with this Merlot-dominant blend. Entrancing aromas of cherry, dark fruit, and sweet spices are touched with roasted oak. The fruit blooms in a very ripe mouth and nuances of macerated fruit integrate the medium tannins. With a beautiful classicism, this cuvée will evolve with grace.
AOP Saint-Chinian Roquebrun
Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Grenache Noir
The generous nose on this organic red delights with strawberry, cassis and lovely hints of oak. The luxurious mouthfeel is soft, rich and fruity, evolving into grippy tannins. The finale can only be described as GRAND with a second wave of fruit, firm tannins and a smoky aftertaste touched with chocolate.
Fitou Cuvée
50% Mourvèdre, 30% Carignan, 20% Grenache
Food Pairing: In order to reveal the full potential of this wine with a strong antioxidant Mourvèdre slowly emerging, it is best to wait 4 to 5 years for it to reach maturity and thus open its aromatic palette, or it is imperative to decant it 5 to 7 hours before eating it. This will reveal the very strong character of this wine both on the very ripe black fruits but also and especially on the notes of roasting, cocoa or cinnamon.
IGP Pays de Caux
85% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Franc
This organic, medium-bodied red boasts sultry aromas of black fruit, smoky spices and herbs that enhance an opulent palate of complex fruitiness, Asian spices and Sichuan pepper. Syrah blended with Cabernet Franc imparts a beautiful, clear ruby color.
AOP Coteaux-du-Languedoc Saint-Georges-d'Orques
75% Syrah, 15% Carignan, 10% Grenache Noir
The winemaker reserves the best Syrah grapes for this bold, ruby-colored Grand Cru. Heady aromas of cigar, deep red fruit and garrigue are followed by mouth-filling flavor and fine tannins. The long finish satisfies with notes of bergamot and eucalyptus.
Côtes du Roussillon
55% Syrah, 35% Carignan, 10% Grenache
This is a very balanced wine with great character, complex aromas and powerful taste. Deep red fruit, little bit of spices and a touch of oak in the end. The grapes are handpicked at optimum ripeness from the domaine's best, most ancient plots.
AOP Saint-Chinian
65% Syrah, 20% Old Carignan, 15% Grenache Noir
This organic red delights with its aromatic sweetness of vanilla and chocolate. Cashew and a touch of smokiness round out the nose. The generous mouthfeel is soft and elegant, yet expressive. A “signature” of this domaine, Cuvée Signée embodies the Saint-Chinian terroir and the Domaine Des Jougla style — tradition balanced with innovation making this an all time favorite red wine.
AOC Coteaux du Languedoc Pézenas
75% Syrah, 25% Cinsaut
This blend is, in a word, stunning. Christine Mouton Bertoli is a gifted winemaker. Her wines are as wonderful and feminine as she is. This flagship wine has flavors of ripe cherries and mocha balanced with good herbal aromas and good acidity to keep your tastebuds alive and interested. Think of lamb chops with spiced prunes, or Moroccan chicken.
Limited Inventory
IGP Vallée du Paradis
50% Merlot, 30% Syrah, 20% Grenache Noir
Notes of ripe fruit and wood harmonize in this bold blend of Merlot, Syrah, and Grenache Noir. Firm tannins and a fine structure enhance the warming spiciness. The cooperative donates a portion of sales to protecting biodiversity, including rebuilding the stone wall habitat of the reptilian namesake of this stunning cuvée—Timon Lepidus.
