Domaine La Tour Vieille
France | Languedoc-Roussillon
With its aromas of toasted almonds and butterscotch, the resulting bone-dry wine is nothing short of enthralling.
Domaine La Tour Vieille
France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Evaporation over time has concentrated the wine, giving it considerable strength to go with its trademark rancio aromas of walnuts and brine.
Ludovic Engelvin
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Vin de France
A pure Mourvèdre vinified and bottled with zero added sulfur, it is a deeply colored rosé from the stony, garrigue-laden backcountry of the Gard
Domaine d’Aupilhac
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.
Mas Champart
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Saint-Chinian
This Languedoc beauty could easily be taken for its Provençal cousin—that is, until you see the price tag.
Château La Roque
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
This rosé, so pale you need to hold it up to a light that flicker of rosé hue, blurs the line between rosé and blanc.
Château Fontanès
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint-Loup
Maybe it’s the biodynamic farming, but these wines always seem to have an extra gear when it comes to aromatics and sheer deliciousness.
Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
Its intense aromatics brazenly translate the Pic’s rugged nature, and an almost chewable minerality brings to mind slabs of shattered limestone incarnated as energy, drive, and uncommon length on the palate.
Château Fontanès
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Vin de Pays d’Oc
Genuinely reflecting the down-home, country soulfulness we love about the Languedoc.
Mas Champart
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Vin de Pays d'Oc
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.
Château Fontanès
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Vin de Pays d’Oc
Melony, snappy, bright, and clean, this is a delightful everyday white with a refreshingly different flavor profile.
Mas Champart
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Monts de la Grage
These ancient hillside vines yield very little, giving an intensely concentrated juice with great acidity and a textured finish. Open it alongside seafood or as an apéritif.
Domaine d’Aupilhac
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc
One of five or six most outstanding dry whites of the Mediterranean rim, vintage after vintage and worth every centime!

France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc
Lately you may have noticed a rise in freshness, a burst in aromatics, and a softness of texture in La Roque’s wines.
Domaine d’Aupilhac
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc
A blend of Grenache Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Clairette, and Vermentino planted in the lieu-dit of Aupilhac, the little corner of the Larzac behind Sylvain’s winery.
Domaine de Fontsainte
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
This crisp and succulent vin gris is a guaranteed thirst-quencher.
Domaine de Fontsainte
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
Its peachy-pink hue hints at what’s to come: orchard fruits and brambly wild berries, grapefruit and wet slate after a summer rain! A staple wine I can’t live without.
Domaine d’Aupilhac
France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Sylvain crafts this wine as a testimony to the quality Carignan can achieve with low yields from old vines in poor soils.

France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Terrasses du Larzac

Château La Roque
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
There is something timeless to La Roque’s Pic Saint Loup, its herbal bouquet and rich, fleshy texture, all free from any hint of modern trappings.
Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
Shows a kinship with the northern Rhône, echoing aromas of black olive and violets.
Château La Roque
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | IGP Pays d'Oc
Cherry-cheeked and ebullient, this old-vine Mourvèdre acts anything but its age. Pure fun and drinkability; black cherry, citrus and stone. Age ain't nothing but a number!

France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc Montpeyroux
Fadat’s bottlings from this terroir have proven to be among the most complex and elegant wines of southern France.
Selected By Kermit Lynch France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc
Ludovic Engelvin
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Gard
A pure Grenache from a north-facing parcel on sandstone soil. Delicate, floral, utterly seductive aromatics; silky texture.
Domaine de Fontsainte
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
The accents of herbal garrigue and vineyard stones offer just enough earthy terroir to counterbalance the chewy black fruit and mouth-coating wild brambleberry, making this bargain red the right bottle to uncork at any which moment.
Maxime Magnon
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
Just different and obscure enough to deliver the thrill of introducing someone to a gorgeous wine that is familiar, but new.
Domaine La Tour Vieille France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Banyuls
