AOP Languedoc - Grés de Montpellier
50% Syrah, 50% Grenache
This Syrah, Grenache blend has a deep garnet color and aromas of black pepper and blackberry, followed by a hint of licorice. The grape varieties join forces to offer an ample, earthy wine, with grippy but pleasant tannins, flavors of baking spices and ripened cherries, and a beautiful length on the palate.
AOP Saint Chinian
60% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache
Acutum is powerful and concentrated, yet smooth. Smokiness on the nose with aromas of prunes, cherries, and licorice. It is full and elegant on the mouth, with notes of slightly roasted ripe fruits, and hints of mocha and blackberries. This is a wine to be laid down (a “vin de garde”).
AOP Minervois
70% Syrah, 30% Grenache
This Syrah-dominant, organic red shines like a ruby with pink cherry highlights. The taste is complex but not heavy and laced with aromas of blackberry and wild herbs of the garrigue. Black pepper and licorice are present as well. A silky mouthfeel and elegant, soft tannins balance the pleasant intensity.
AOP Saint Chinian
40% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache Noir, 30% Syrah
This organic blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah enchants with deep red fruit on the palate followed by delicate herbs and spices and a rich finish. Tannins are firm, yet velvety. Made by a leading lady of Languedoc winemaking, Laurence Jougla, whose family vineyards are abundant in diverse soils, imbuing her wines with beautiful richness and softness.

AOP Languedoc Montpeyroux
50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Counoise
Coming from the oldest vines in the estate this wine is supple and powerful. Aromas of complex spices, black fruits, and garrigue and a palate full of minerality and depth with lovely freshness and a long finish. Bleu Velours is distinctive and eminently drinkable.
AOP Minervois
80% Syrah, 20% Grenache Noir
A beautifully concentrated Syrah-Grenache Noir blend redolent of Southern France with aromas of black fruit, spice, leathery notes and elegant integrated oak flavors.

AOP Terrasses Du Larzac
43% Syrah, 42% Grenache, 15% Carignan
This red blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan fills the mouth without being heavy. Aromatic notes of cassis and hints of leather blend with rosemary, thyme and other fragrant herbs of the garrigue. The palate is fine and rich with soft tannins and a round finish. Rated 91 points by Decanter!
AOP Saint Chinian
90% Carignan, 10% other red grapes
Carissimo bends the rules with this blend of 90% Carignan and 10% whatever other red grapes the winemaker wanted to add.

It has an elegant mouthfeel with fine tannins, a beautiful acidity and a fresh and delicate finish.
AOP Cotes de Roussillon Villages
60% Syrah, 40% Grenache Noir
An aromatic and fruity blend with crunchy red and black bramble fruits complemented by a touch of peppery spice and a subtle hint of violets. The flavors are crisp, acid is bright and tannins are firm and grippy. This is the ultimate pleasure wine with friends. Serve slightly chilled.
IGP Pays d'Herault
100% Cinsault
Cinsault is the Pinot Noir of Languedoc: a less sustained color than the purplish Syrahs that we know well. This wine has pronounced fruit aromas, but it is delicate, with hints of cherry and a touch of cinnamon. This cuvée is the only wine from this domaine vinified and bottled without added sulfites. A very natural wine, but also fragile and not to be put in cellars.
AOP Côtes du Roussillon - Caramany Villages
65% Carignan, 20% Grenache, 15% Syrah
This organic blend of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah bewitches even before the first sip with its gorgeous, garnet color. Pure pleasure follows with aromas of black fruit, earth and flint. A silky mouthfeel and a fresh, spicy palate complement the elegant tannins.
