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.
Roches Noires is a four-variety blend from one of the Languedoc's most respected schist-based appellations, and a wine that offers importers a genuine prestige anchor for a southern French portfolio. With 18 months of aging and a 5 to 10 year cellaring window, it speaks to buyers looking for structure, depth, and a credible story around organic farming and old-vine terroir.
Grenache Noir: 30% + Syrah: 30% + Carignan: 20% + Mourvèdre: 20%
The vines push through steep black schist slopes under a harsh Mediterranean climate, where poor soils, tramontane winds, and wide diurnal swings force deep rooting and concentrated yields. Hand harvesting, table sorting, three weeks of maceration, and 18 months of aging with 90% in tank and 10% in large oak casks give the wine both aromatic precision and real structural backbone.
The nose is expressive and fragrant, with cherry, raspberry, violet, and sweet spice, while the palate is smooth and polished, with silky tannins and a fruit-wrapped finish that carries through with elegance and length. The Faugères AOP, certified organic viticulture, and classic blend make this one of the most commercially compelling entries in the range.
