2020 Saint-Chinian Blanc
Mas Champart

The south of France may be known primarily for its reds and rosés, but it is home to distinctive and outstanding white wines, too. Made from a medley of southern white grape varieties, Mas Champart’s Saint-Chinian blanc is one of the region’s most fascinating and delicious blancs. Mineral and saline, with impressive texture and flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and spring flowers, this offers a great pairing for grilled fish or seared scallops.

2021 Pays d’Oc Rouge
France | Languedoc-Roussillon
For the southern red wine fanatic, lover of Bandol and other meaty reds, this wine is a steal. A blend of rustic and peppery grapes like Cab Franc, Carignan, and Syrah, it’s spicy, plummy, and so delicious. A cult favorite of those in the know.

France | Languedoc-Roussillon
This Languedoc beauty could easily be taken for its Provençal cousin—that is, until you see the price tag.

2020 Corbières Rouge

France | Languedoc-Roussillon
This gris de gris is more delicate in color and perfume than its predecessor, but it still packs a lot of flavor.

France | Languedoc-Roussillon
A pure Grenache from a north-facing parcel on sandstone soil. Delicate, floral, utterly seductive aromatics; silky texture.

About The Producer
Mas Champart
About The Region
Languedoc-Roussillon
Ask wine drinkers around the world, and the word “Languedoc” is sure to elicit mixed reactions. On the one hand, the region is still strongly tied to its past as a producer of cheap, insipid bulk wine in the eyes of many consumers. On the other hand, it is the source of countless great values providing affordable everyday pleasure, with an increasing number of higher-end wines capable of rivaling the best from other parts of France.
While there’s no denying the Languedoc’s checkered history, the last two decades have seen a noticeable shift to fine wine, with an emphasis on terroir. Ambitious growers have sought out vineyard sites with poor, well draining soils in hilly zones, curbed back on irrigation and the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and looked to balance traditional production methods with technological advancements to craft wines with elegance, balance, and a clear sense of place. Today, the overall quality and variety of wines being made in the Languedoc is as high as ever.
Shaped like a crescent hugging the Mediterranean coast, the region boasts an enormous variety of soil types and microclimates depending on elevation, exposition, and relative distance from the coastline and the cooler foothills farther inland. While the warm Mediterranean climate is conducive to the production of reds, there are world-class whites and rosés to be found as well, along with stunning dessert wines revered by connoisseurs for centuries.

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
