New vintage, 2011 rated: RVF 15.5/20
The five Terrasses du Larzac grape varieties are brought together in this cuvée to express terroir and fruit. A wine that reveals a very expressive, well-balanced nose, offering on the palate the long-awaited freshness so characteristic of the terroir. A Coteaux du Languedoc that goes perfectly with a fine piece of red meat.

About the domain :
A family-run wine estate since the 12th century, Château de Jonquières boasts a long line of 32 generations of winegrowers - a rare feat for the region! The wines of this estate, with their classic imprint, are always easily digestible and harmonious - a classicism that the new generation, now at the helm of the estate, does not intend to call into question, but to refine. Their dynamism and clear vision seem to pave the way for renewal. The expressive, easy-to-digest whites combine Chenin and Grenache Blanc. The reds age well, especially La Baronnie, which matures between two and eight years in bottle. Lansade, less consistent and precise, nonetheless seduces with its greediness.
