"Régal rouge is the estate's blended wine, offering a silky mouthfeel supported by raspberry and a licorice finish." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF). This cuvée brings together Grenache, Carignan and Syrah from more than 10 different plots. A deep red, full of fresh fruit, with a smooth, easy-to-digest balance. Dense and nervy, its juicy flesh delivers tasty licorice notes. A complex expression of the Loup Blanc terroir!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
This attractive estate comprises 18 hectares of vines divided into small parcels located in Bize, in the Minervois des Causses part of the foothills of the Montagne Noire, at the northeastern end of the appellation. This estate is making real progress. Vinification is moving towards gentler, less intensive extractions, so the wines are gaining in fruit precision and fresh balance. As a result, they are pleasant to drink, greedy and enjoyable, while retaining the estate's trademark tension and vitality. These Minervois wines are complemented by a range of particularly well-crafted igp wines from the Aude region, whose names are obviously linked to those of the estate.

Rated wine (guide 2021) 90/100
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
Régal rouge is the estate's blended wine, offering a silky mouthfeel supported by raspberry and a licorice finish.
About the domain :
Created in 2002 by four wine-loving partners from Saumur, Le Loup Blanc offers Minervois wines blended from Languedoc grape varieties. Work in the vineyard immediately focused on organic and biodynamic farming. The expression of each cuvée remains precise: here we find wines to drink on the fruit, but also fine cuvées for ageing. The property houses two comfortable, tastefully decorated gîtes.
