This lovely Terrasses du Larzac offers a beautiful blend of power, elegance, and finesse on the nose, with depth and supple tannins on the palate. A red wine that pairs wonderfully with slow-cooked dishes, as well as with chocolate. The ultimate wine for enjoying with food!

About the estate:
A family-owned vineyard dating back to the 12th century, Château de Jonquières boasts a long lineage of 32 generations of winemakers—a rarity for the region! The estate’s wines, with their classic character, remain consistently easy to drink and harmonious—a classic style that the new generation, now at the helm of the estate, has no intention of challenging but rather of refining. Their dynamism and clear vision seem to be paving the way for a new era. The whites, expressive and easy to drink, blend Chenin and Grenache Blanc. The reds age well, particularly La Baronnie, which refines over two to eight years in the bottle. Lansade, while less consistent and precise, nevertheless charms with its rich, indulgent character.
