Moving to the top two cuvées, the 2019 Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Latour De France Visitare Interiore Terrae is a 60/40 split of Grenache and Syrah that comes from more limestone and gneiss soils. It was all destemmed and spent 18 months in a mix of concrete tanks and once-used demi-muids. It’s a beauty that I’d happily put in a blind lineup of top Châteauneuf du Pape and offers lots of red and blue fruits as well as resinous herbs, ground pepper, and chalky minerality. With medium to full-bodied richness, silky tannins, and fabulous balance, it’s not a blockbuster and holds onto a terrific sense of purity and elegance. Drink it over the coming 10-15 years.

A blend of 60% Grenache (from gneiss soils and aged in concrete eggs) and 40% Syrah (from clay-limestone soils and aged in demi-muids), the 2019 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Visitare Interiore Terrae features aromas of cedar, asphalt, black olives and dark-skinned fruit. Full-bodied and concentrated, it's framed by fine, silky tannins and finishes long. 374 cases produced.

Region: Languedoc Roussillon

The French region of Languedoc Roussillon can claim to be amongst one of the oldest continuing wine regions in the world, with a history which stretches back to the ancient Greeks almost three thousand years ago. Today, Languedoc Roussillon is recognized as a region associated with fine wines made from many of the noble grapes, and with over 700,000 acres under vine, is a veritable powerhouse of viticulture which has helped shape the world of wines as we know it. Languedoc Roussillon is situated in the very south of France, and enjoys a fine, hot, Mediterranean climate which allows the vines there to reach full ripeness and provide reliable yields each year. Languedoc Roussillon today produces over a third of France's wines, and the bottles which leave the wineries of the region remain popular across the globe.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
