Gault & Millau
This lovely Terrasses du Larzac offers a beautiful combination of power, elegance, and finesse on the nose, with depth and supple tannins on the palate. A red that pairs wonderfully with slow-cooked dishes, but also with chocolate. The ultimate indulgent wine!

About the estate:
A family-owned wine estate since the 12th century, Château de Jonquières boasts a long line of 32 generations of winemakers, which is quite rare for the region! The wines from this estate, with their classic style, are always easy to drink and harmonious—a classicism that the new generation, now running the business, has no intention of challenging but rather refining. Its dynamism and clear vision seem to be paving the way for renewal. The whites, expressive and easy to drink, combine Chenin and Grenache Blanc. The reds age well, particularly La Baronnie, which improves with between two and eight years in the bottle. Lansade, less consistent and precise, nevertheless seduces with its deliciousness.
