black fruits

This lovely Terrasses du Larzac offers a beautiful blend of black fruit, sweet spices, toasted notes, and eucalyptus on the nose. It displays power, elegance, and finesse on the palate thanks to expert aging, highlighting beautiful depth and smooth tannins. A red wine that pairs wonderfully with slow-cooked dishes, as well as chocolate. Delicious when young and shows great promise over the next 10 years!

About the estate:

A family-owned vineyard since the 12th century, Château de Jonquières boasts a long lineage of 32 generations of winemakers—which is quite rare 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.
