WINE DESCRIPTION
François Bannier and Gregory Hecht meticulously select premium grapes for their southern French cuvée. The Languedoc, vast and diverse, offers an array of soils, terroirs, and grape varieties, which they skillfully blend. Their expertise yields a bouquet of spicy Garrigue notes, white pepper, and ripe fruit, never veering into cloying sweetness. These are honest, unfiltered flavors, shaped by the southern French climate and its untamed landscapes. Fresh with delicate tannins, the wine pairs beautifully with lamb and ratatouille, reflecting the essence of its terroir and the passion of its creators.

ORIGINS
Winery: Hecht & Bannier
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
