This lovely Terrasses du Larzac displays a beautiful combination of power, elegance and finesse on the nose, with depth and supple tannins on the palate. A red that will work wonders with simmered dishes, as well as chocolate. The gourmet wine par excellence!

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.
