A Taste of Place brings together a patchwork of Southern France finest terroirs, from sea-swept coasts to mountain slopes. Each wine captures a mood, a landscape and a promise of what will unfold in the glass. With labels that guide rather than intimidate, the collection opens the door for curious drinkers to explore Languedoc wine with ease and delight.
Plaisir d'écume is a coastal red from the limestone massif that rises directly from the Mediterranean shore, and one of the most visually and gastronomically compelling appellations in the region. The combination of saline freshness, mineral depth, and generous southern fruit gives this wine a distinctive identity that translates particularly well to seafood-forward restaurant programs.
Grenache Noir: 40% + Syrah: 40% + Carignan: 10% + Mourvèdre: 10%
The vines grow on a complex geological mosaic of limestone, sandstone, red clay, marl, and schist, shaped by constant sea breezes that slow ripening and impart a subtle saline edge. Hand harvesting, a 30-day maceration with gentle rack-and-return, carbonic maceration for the Carignan, and 12 months of aging with 70% in stainless steel and 30% in foudres and seasoned barrels deliver a wine that is at once generous and precise.
The nose opens with ripe black fruit, mocha, and garrigue, while the palate is silky and well-structured, finishing long with spice and a delicate mineral, almost coastal lift. La Clape's growing international profile and this wine's genuine sense of place make it a confident and differentiated listing for any serious portfolio.
