L'ecume Des Jours

2009 Cotes Du Roussillon Red Blend

Au Bout Du Monde L'écume Des Jours is a captivating red blend from the renowned Cotes Du Roussillon region, embodying the essence of southern France's sun-soaked vineyards. With its deep red color, this wine presents a harmonious balance of rich fruit flavors, showcasing profiles of dark fruits like blackcurrant and plum, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness that elevate its complexity. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, providing a smooth and inviting texture that envelops the palate. Its acidity is bright and lively, adding a refreshing quality that enhances its drinkability while soft, well-integrated tannins offer structure without overpowering the fruit. This red blend is delightfully dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of dishes, from hearty stews to grilled meats, or simply enjoyed on its own in good company.

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.
