Montcharme Malbec
Why we picked it
Malbec may turn out to be an excellent tool for Languedoc Roussillon winemakers. Is it for sure? Not at all. Malbec is a southwestern France grape and a tertiary grape at that; Mediterranean France has little experience with it. But the region has elevation, so maybe we’re going to see more like this tasty little thing. let’s be clear about this: Malbec likes altitude. Why? No one really knows.

Baron de Roncelin Cotes du Rhone
Imagine you’re a monk minding your own business and a mob drags you out to run Marseille. That actually happened to a guy named Roncelin in 1193. He ran the city, got married, got excommunicated by the Pope and ended up right back at the abbey. We’d want a glass of wine after that too.
Boulee Cordot
Syrah is planted throughout Mediterranean France, and has a strong reputation dating back to the mid-19th century when Bordeaux chateaux would blend a small amount into their wines to improve them. Alicante? It’s one of the rare Teinturier grapes, having red juice as well as red skins and in the right spots it can be powerful and juicy, not just inky. Together they make for a very modern, fascinating, if untraditional, wine.
Canteperdrix Vim Solis
Vinsobres is a red wine only appellation that sees a more diverse set of soils than most of the other Rhone AOCs. The usual intense Mistral wind is accompanied by a cooler, gentler Pontias wind, making this one of the cooler sites of the southern Rhone. The wines have a bit more nerve: think of cranberry instead of black cherry, more tangy Grenache than rich, robust Syrah.
