Cuvee Bastien

Cotes Du Roussillon Syrah, Carignan, Grenache Noir

Chateau Lauriga Cuvee Bastien is an enchanting red blend hailing from the esteemed Cotes Du Roussillon region. This exquisite wine seamlessly marries the bold Syrah, the rustic Carignan, and the vibrant Grenache Noir, each varietal contributing its character to the harmonious whole. On the palate, it displays a delightful medium-to-full body, brimming with lively acidity that imparts a refreshing lift. The fruit intensity is notably pronounced, offering juicy blackberry, dark cherry, and a touch of plum, all wrapped in a subtle veil of peppery spice. The tannins are firm yet elegant, providing a structured backbone without overpowering the fruit-forward profile. Chateau Lauriga Cuvee Bastien captures the essence of its sun-soaked terroir, making it an exemplary representation of what the Cotes Du Roussillon region has to offer.

Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon

France's oldest and largest winemaking region, the Languedoc-Roussillon stretches around the sun-kissed Mediterranean from Roussillon to Provence. Taking in everything from rugged mountain slopes to breezy coastline, this vast region features various climates and terroirs. Outside of its famous AOCs like Minervois, Corbières and Saint-Chinian, many Languedoc wines are made in the less restrictive IGP classification, in particular the Pays d'Oc. There are many wine styles made in Languedoc, but full-bodied reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault are the most common. For summer drinking, look to its fruity rosé, rounded Chardonnay and zingy Picpoul. You will often find grape varieties stated on the label of Languedoc's IGP wines, an uncommon practice in much of France.
