A singular blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Tannat, 4% Melot, 4% Pinot Noir, 4% Petit Verdot, 4% Syrah and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 IGP Saint Guilhem le Desert reveals a perfumed, complex bouquet of dark wild berries, violet, spices and mulberries mingled with carnal notes. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and balanced, it has a fleshy core of fruit framed by powdery tannins that segue into a long, penetrating and slightly wild finish. This is a moderately weighted, lively rendition of this iconic estate from the Languedoc. ... More details

A well-crafted, lively, layered and flavorful blend of 76% cabernet sauvignon, 5% tannat, 4% merlot, 4% pinot noir, 4% petit verdot, 4% syrah and 3% cabernet franc. On the nose aromas of cherries, warm herbs, forest berries, straw, bark, earth and some dried mushroom. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Precise and well driven with such succulence to the center, thanks to bright acidity and purity of fruit. Refined and transparent. Long finish. Drink or hold.
Winery
To be drunk in its youth (in the first 3 years) to enjoy its superb fruit aromas. Or to be open from the 5th year to 20th year to appreciate its amazing ageing potential. Perfect with complex dishes, red meat, game (especially venison and wild-boar) and cheeses.

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.
