WBW 33: Languedoc-Roussillon Values

2007-04-25T04:14:14Z in food and drink, geography

I've been slacking on the wine blogging front, but I'm coming out again for the 33rd Wine Blogging Wednesday. By coincidence, the theme is value-priced wines from Languedoc-Roussillon at the very same time my wife is in the Midi for an international invasive species symposium. Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre is pretty much my favorite red blend, and that's a specialty of the Pic St-Loup appellation -- right in her neighborhood this week.

Pic Saint-Loup is great. My favorite is Chateau de Lancyre : http://www.chateaudelancyre.com/vins/gdecuveerouge.htm Enjoy and feel Restful !

Hey glad to hear it! (Ch de Lancyre was one of my more recent Languedoc tastings I uncorked from the region's awesome 2001 vintage.) Hope you all find a good bottle and contribute it.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm also going to ask my wife to find something unique that we can't get here in Colorado, like a Mourvèdre varietal.

Well, no pure Mourvèdre came home with my wife, but she did bring back a couple bottles of good blog fodder. Also a Hortus Grand Cuvée Pic Saint-Loup and a Château Puech-Haut Tête de Bélier Rouge that are a bit outside the bargain price range.
