Côteaux du Languedoc


See Côteaux du Languedoc producers See a list of Côteaux du Languedoc wines

The Coteaux Du Languedoc appellation is either a useful assemblage of the top enclaves in the Hérault Department or an extremely unhelpful conglomeration of vastly different sub-regions which would be more helpfully categorised independently. Whatever one's opinion, it is not short of both significance and potential, running along the Mediterranean coast from Narbonne almost as far East as Nîmes and covering over 10,000 hectares and some of the most attractive and wonderfully-situated vineyards in France.

Several of its sub-appellations are fighting for full Appellation Contrôlée status, the most famous being La Clape, Picpoul de Pinet and Pic Saint Loup. Of the others, high quality wines are now being produced in, inter alia, Montpeyroux, Grés De Montpellier and Les Terrasses de Larzac. All the principle grapes  are represented, with Carignan and Cinsualt reduced to a maximum of 40% apiece  to encourage more fashionable varieties, especially Syrah and Mourvèdre. The terroir is equally diverse, with  limestone, schist, sand and clay all evidenced.

"Familongue are in the habit of winning prizes, and they certainly impressed me earlier this year when tasted blind at a Sopexa Tasting ( Vin de Pays Top 100 Competition) organised by Tim Atkin MW, where, once again they picked up a Trophy. A lovely and beautifully balanced wine; made up a third each of Merlot, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon, a slightly unusual blend, but one that seems to work rather well. A deep purple robe then a nose of wild raspberry, licorice and tapenade; the palate is profound, with an attractive sweetness, fine tannins and plenty of Mediterranean warmth."

Picpoul de Pinet proves to be the perfect accompaniment to seafood, crisp, a beautifully refined wine with a delicate minerality. Mme. Jourdan has few peers when it comes to this under-rated variety.

A great wine that's all about fruit and more fruit. It's unoaked,  so you just get a gorgeous whack of forest berries, packed with warm sunshine from the south of France. You get a lot for your money, too, as this wine is an exercise in mouthfeel, that combination of velveteen richness, structuring tannins and fleshy ripeness that all have to be in perfect balance (and here they are) for a truly satisfying red.

Old-vine Carignan is quite a popular term these days, its implication being that because the vines have been there a long time, that they has acquired a mysterious veneer of quality that is sometimes lacking in this, the putative work-horse variety of the region. Caveat emptor! Some old vine Carignan is better than others, and this is one of the best. Familongue have a knack of making wines that are rich, full bodied and yet replete with local colour and personality. Marinated dark fruits, souisbois and a hint of licorice are evidenced here, the palate is full but rounded, the finish clean and satisfying. One for sanglier or boudin noir!(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

"Syrah predominates here, with 15% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache. A de facto 'second wine' described by Réné Rostaing as 'gourmand', this is silky, rounded and immediately seductive; hints of garrigue and autumnal earth underpin the attractive hedgerow fruits; all in all a most pleasing landscape. Softer than the 06, with less oak ageing, a more approachable wine, more immediately Syrah than the more senior 05"

"Syrah and Grenache from the dramatic eponymous limestone peaks just to the north of Montpellier. With a distinctive nose of garrigue, incense and macerated plum, this is a warm Mediterranean wine, its putative rawness long since tamed by the expertise of Jean Benoit Cavalier. Dark fruit on the palate, then a mineral acidity and a warming but not hot finish. A good match for casseroles and jugged hare."

" Very tangy nose – really appetising. Lots of lemon fruit and very slight astringency. It reminds me of a high-altitude white Châteauneuf – higher praise there is not!"

André Leenhardt is a great fan and a craftsman of Mourvèdre which makes up 40% of this blend. Aromas of crushed violets, prunes and black cherry predominate here; the palate is fulsome, long and powerful.

Deeply-coloured , with an intensly savoury nose with dominant aromas of roasted meat, dried herbs and crushed peppercorns. The palate is elegant, yet sufficiently rich, with a smooth fruity (cassis and blackberries) mouthfeel and flinty tannins. Excellent on its own or for pairing with red-sauce Italian dishes.

Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Southern Rhône Blend, Ready, but will improve, 13.5% alc.

Puech Chaud Rouge is  a blend of 80 % Syrah, 10% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre, half cuve and half barrique, farmed just outside Nimes on gravel/limestone soil. The nose is typical of a Languedoc wine, bit of garrigue, tar, iodine, battling with the Syrah blackberry and purity. The palate is quite dense, if not as elegant as its Northern cousin, yet loaded with black cherry, charcuterie  falvours, supported by assertive tannins, which will soften with time to allow the Syrah class and charm to unfold in its full glory.
