We don’t see a huge number of Languedoc wines in the Australian market. On this evidence, it’s time for wine importers to find a few more like this stunner from Chateau de Lascaux.
This is a wine that enchants with its alluring and exotic florals – lilac, rose and violet – interwoven with red, purple and black fruits. There are wines that say ‘drink me’ from the first sip, and this is one such wine! No need to say much more here. Grab a bottle or two, give it a try and be won over.
2014 CHATEAU DE LASCAUX PIC ST LOUP ‘CARRA’Producer: Chateau de Lascaux
Variety: Grenache et al
Region: Languedoc, France
ABV: 14.0%
Closure: Natural cork
Retail Price: $40.00
Date tasted: 5 August 2017
Tasting Note:
Bright crimson. Alluring nose of lilac, violet, raspberry, plum and boysenberry. Just a tad over medium bodied, very bright, brambly fruit, licorice and aniseed. Fine chocolatey tannins carry the finsh. Will improve over the short to medium term, but hard to resist now.
Score: 17/20
