Domaine GaydaLanguedoc-Roussillon, France
Why you'll love it
An emblematic organic Languedoc red, crafted with attention (hand-harvested, low yields, long oak aging), award-worthy and impressive.
The nose is remarkably intense, with dominant notes of wild blackberry, supported by fresh touches of liquorice and black pepper and intoxicating floral notes of violet. On the palate, indulgence of blackcurrant liqueur, enriched by hints of pepper and cocoa beans. The long, powerful finish also reveals all its elegance thanks to controlled ageing in oak barrels.
Perfect with grilled red meats, game, roasted poultry or aged cheeses.
Best known in Provence, Languedoc, South Africa
A soft, perfumed red grape from the south of France. Light in colour and tannin, with red cherry and floral notes. A key player in Provence rosé, and old vines in South Africa make lovely, silky reds.
Best known in Southern Rhône, McLaren Vale, Provence
Warm, generous and full of red fruit. Raspberry, strawberry, spice and a soft, ripe texture. The heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and many rosés; in Spain the same grape is called Garnacha.
Best known in Northern Rhône, Washington State
A dark, spicy red grape. Blackberry, black pepper, smoked meat and violets, with firm structure. Elegant and savoury in the Northern Rhône, in places like Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie; in Australia the same grape goes by Shiraz.
France
France's most exciting and under-appreciated wine region. Stretching along the Mediterranean coast from Nîmes to the Spanish border, it's a vast, diverse landscape of old Grenache and Carignan vines, ambitious small producers and extraordinary value.
Languedoc-Roussillon, France
A Languedoc estate with a good story behind its flagship. Chemin de Moscou is named for a vineyard parcel and an old tree that Aéropostale pilots once used as a navigation beacon. Love Wine stocks eleven wines, from Sphère Syrah to that organic red.
More from Domaine Gayda →Named after the local “Chemin de Moscou” vineyard parcel tied to an old tree, that was used as a navigation beacon by pioneers of the Aéropostale service flying out of Toulouse on their way to Perpignan, Spain, North Africa and eventually South America.
