VdP de l'Hérault


See VdP de l'Hérault producers See a list of VdP de l'Hérault wines

Hérault is a Vin de Pays (Départementaux) French wine appellation, that encompasses vineyard area from the eponymous Hérault department in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. Hérault is surrounded by the departments of Aude, Tarn, Aveyron, Gard, and the Mediterranean sea on the south. 

The reputation of Hérault received its biggest boost by the success of the wine domaine Mas de Daumas Gassac, located to the north of Montpellier. Aimé Guibert, the founder of the domaine, planted an eccentric mixture of vines on fine, volcanic soil that was identified by oneologist Emile Peynaud to be capable of producing wines of Cru standard. 

Plots of lands like this are rare in Hérault, but the ever-improving wine-making and the proliferation of international varieties deliver wines of excellent quality that compare very well with the DO appellation wines nearby. Syrah, Cab. Sauvignon, Merlot, Grenache are the dominant red wine grapes, while Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Marsanne and Viogner are the main white varietals.

Jean-Luc Terrier's Burgundian origins are evident in this top notch Limoux-based Chardonnay which marries a rich leesy mid-palate with a confident backbone of refreshing acidity. Generous fruit but with great structure and length.

Those in search of the essence of old vine Carignan need look no further. Pejoratively described as the work-horse grape by some, Carignan is in fact the backbone and, almost mixing metaphors, the lifeblood of the Languedoc landscape. From the wonderful terroir of Les Terrasses De Larzac, soon to ... MORE
