WINE DESCRIPTION
Les Vignes Oubliées Languedoc is a captivating expression from the Terrasses du Larzac, specifically hailing from the storied commune of Saint-Privat. This wine celebrates the diverse, sun-soaked soils of Grès and Schiste, perfectly capturing the essence of its terroir. The producer’s meticulous approach ensures the preservation of fruit purity and freshness: from selective harvesting both in the vineyard and at the cellar, partial destemming, to a carefully managed maceration period of 15 to 20 days under temperature control.

Composed of Cinsault, balanced with Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan, Les Vignes Oubliées is a labor of passion, delivering an authentic and irresistible Languedoc wine experience.

ORIGINS
Winery: Les Vignes Oubliées
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
