100% Nielluccio – Vin de France
Olivier at Terrasses de Gabrielle always looks for warm weather grapes as the climate becomes warmer in the Languedoc. This rosé has lovely floral aromas and a special charm that comes from the Nielluccio grape which is native to Corsica, a French Island near the Languedoc. The grape is genetically similar to the Tuscan grape Sangiovese. The wine has peach notes and you can find a whiff of wild plants, like lavender and even perhaps an herbal touch of thyme. Enjoy on its own or paired with grilled white fish in lemon-butter sauce or chicken salad with apricots and almonds. At this price you’ll fall in love!

100% Merlot – IGP Pays d’Oc
Winemaker Jem Harris moved to the Languedoc-Roussillon from Australia. He exemplifies the best of Old World terroir in the hands of a New World winemaker. Domaine La Louviére is owned by the famous Grohe family of designer bathroom hardware. Connoisseurs of quality, the family recognized the value of the terroir and acquired the domaine. This organic Merlot brought home Gold twice — Concours Général Agricole 2014 and Gilbert & Gaillard 2012. Hints of strawberries, plums, and spices impart a light, easy atmosphere to any gathering. But fair warning, the full-bodied, rounded flavor may entice your guests to stay until the wee hours, as ‘rascals’ do. Grilled lamb achieves its savory best with this lively Merlot; also delicious with simpler fare such as pizza and pasta.

49% Syrah, 47% Grenache, 4% Carignan - AOP Terrasses du Larzac
Terre des 2 Sources began with two couples who shared a dream — to find the best land and wine-growing environment and to craft exceptional wines. The foursome realized their dream with an estate on high elevation just south of the Cevennes mountains with a rich diversity of soils, slopes, aquatic features and climate. Kirsten Creasy is the winemaker, and her husband Glen manages the vineyards. Kirsten has a long and successful career making wines in different places throughout the world. She is native to New Zealand and has made wines there as well as in Australia and France. She is part of the Languedoc renaissance making her own wine in this special terroir. This red blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan fills the mouth without being heavy. Aromatic notes of cassis and hints of leather blend with rosemary, thyme and other fragrant herbs of the garrigue. The palate is fine and rich with soft tannins and a round finish. A meat-lover’s friend, this red harmonizes with roasted leg of lamb with lentils, spicy slow cooked beef, or venison in a dark gravy.
