WINE DESCRIPTION
Château de Lascaux Languedoc Garrigue Rouge is a red wine that reflects the distinctive characteristics of the Languedoc region in France. It is produced by Château de Lascaux, a family estate located in the northern part of the AOC Languedoc, near Pic Saint-Loup. This wine benefits from the region's limestone soils and Mediterranean climate.
The winemaking process at Château de Lascaux combines traditional and modern techniques. Grapes from southeast-facing slopes at an altitude of 130 meters are harvested either by hand or machine, depending on the plot. The wine undergoes a traditional process that includes a few days of maceration followed by fermentation with natural yeasts. It is then aged in concrete tanks for several months. With its rich and velvety texture, this wine offers a harmonious blend of ripe fruits, subtle spices, and elegant tannins.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château de Lascaux Languedoc Garrigue Rouge has a deep ruby color, reflecting its richness.The very perfumed nose offers enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, complemented by hints of herbs and spices. On the palate, this wine is elegant and full-bodied, featuring complex layers of vibrant fruit, vanilla, and silky tannins. Dark fruits like blackcurrants and black cherries dominate, while subtle notes of tobacco and earthiness add depth.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château de Lascaux
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
