Vin de France
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
A mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from the highest vineyards in the Saint-Jean-de-Minervois appellation. Profound depth with blackberry bursts and an underpinning of minerality from the stony limestone covering the vineyards. Nicely structured with ripe tannins, which become increasingly harmonious after several year’s keeping. A racy wine!
AOP Fitou
30% Carignan, 30% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah
This blend of organic Carignan, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre is deliciously complex. Luscious, ripe fruit mingles with spice, licorice and vanilla. As well, herbal notes deliver hints of the wild Mediterranean garrigue.
IGP Côtes Catalanes
100% Syrah
This award-winning Syrah has been described as a “Velvet Touch.” Baked blackberries mingle with hints of herbal garrigue and the scent of violets. A sophisticated, rich, and delicious wine with a luscious mouthfeel. The prized schiste soil at high elevation is the secret to this fine cuvée!
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.
Vin de France
50% Carignan, 30% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, 10% Grenache
The Domaine Avéla "Théodore" is considered one of the greatest wines of the French Languedoc and certainly the most exclusive. The palate on this red blend is bold and expressive with red and black fruit flavors mixing elegantly with hints of smoke and tobacco. The tannins are grippy and give the wine a juicy character, with a long and intense finish.
AOP Languedoc Pezenas
80% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre
This ‘Tribe of the Volcano” is a complex wine with an elegant structure and beautiful aging potential. Aromas of ripe, black fruit, cherries and stewed fruits give way to peppery notes and a beautiful minerality. The tannins are fine and reveal notes of licorice, roasted coffee, and black tea.
AOP Cabardès
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Grenache
The West Wind blows blackcurrants, tobacco, cedarwood and spices into your senses. The deep garnet red color with light terracotta reflections around the edge shimmer and invite. The taste delivers what the nose promises with a fine structured mouth, fresh, soft tannins and stewed fruit highlighted with a spicy flair.
AOP Minervois
100% Carignan
This carignan is deep violet with intense ruby glints and a complex bouquet of black currants, caramel, hazelnut, blueberry, coffee, blackberries, chocolate, baking spices, cedar, leather, cigar box, musk, and even more secondary and tertiary aromas. The texture is silky and fine and the palate delivers what the nose promises followed by a long and dry finish.
