Château La Sauvageonne - 750ml

Terrasses du Larzac Grand Vin is a distinguished red that embodies the character of this elevated Languedoc terroir. Crafted from a thoughtful blend of grape varieties—primarily Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre—it benefits from the region’s cool nights and sun-warmed days, which slow ripening and preserve fresh berry brightness while building depth and structure. The wine often also includes a judicious splash of Carignan or Cinsault, adding brightness and spice. The soils here are varied and dramatic—streaks of limestone, schist, and iron-rich clay underlie terraces that rise above the plain—creating a mineral, refined backbone for the fruit. This composition yields a wine with immediate aromatic allure: ripe red and black fruits, notes of black pepper, lavender, and garrigue herbs, and a subtle flintiness that hints at its terroir.

On the palate, Terrasses du Larzac Grand Vin typically offers elegant balance—a blend of ripe fruit generosity with crisp acidity and a gentle tannic framework. Oak influence, when present, is integrated rather than domineering, lending vanilla, toast, and a touch of smokiness that complements the fruit and herbal notes. The finish is persistent and refined, carrying hints of Mediterranean herbs, black plum, and mineral undertones. This wine is approachable in its youth yet has the structure to age gracefully, developing greater complexity with time in bottle. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, Provençal dishes, and earthy mushrooms, reflecting the sun-drenched landscape from which it springs.
