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.
À la frontière is a structured, age-worthy red from one of France's most geographically dramatic appellations, where schist and limestone soils meet the competing influences of sea and mountain. With a 5 to 10 year cellar window and a style that balances depth with freshness, it offers importers a credible step-up option alongside more everyday listings.
Grenache Noir: 40% + Carignan: 30% + Syrah: 30%
The vines are 40 to 70 years old, rooted in wind-carved schist and limestone soils at low yields of around 40 hl/ha, conditions that consistently deliver concentration and character. Whole-cluster carbonic maceration for the Carignan lifts the fruit and softens the tannins, while spontaneous fermentation in concrete at moderate temperatures and six months of tank aging without oak or filtration keep the wine pure and unmanipulated.
The nose is vivid and aromatic, with crushed blackberry, black cherry, lavender, and bay leaf, while the palate is lively and precise, with licorice, pepper, smooth tannins, and a clean mineral thread through the finish. Old-vine terroir, certified organic farming, and genuine appellation identity make this a straightforward, confident sell for any serious portfolio.
