2005 Coteaux Du Languedoc Grenache 85%, Syrah 15%

Domaine Le Conte Des Floris Villafranchien is a captivating red wine crafted primarily from Grenache, with a hint of Syrah. Hailing from the picturesque Coteaux Du Languedoc region, this 2005 vintage offers a lovely deep ruby color that invites exploration. The wine presents a generous body, perfectly balanced with high acidity that lends a refreshing quality to each sip. A symphony of black fruit aromas, such as blackberry and plum, mingles beautifully with notes of spice and subtle earthiness, showcasing its prominent fruit intensity. The tannins are notably firm yet refined, providing excellent structure and ensuring a long and satisfying finish. This wine is beautifully dry, making it an exceptional choice for food pairings or simply enjoyed on its own, embodying the terroir of Languedoc in every glass.

Region:


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.
