CHÂTEAU de LASCAUX LANGUEDOC GARRIGUE ROUGE 2022

Château de Lascaux gets its origins from the Cavalier family. The vineyard is totally integrated into a natural environment of incredibly rich biodiversity, providing it with protection and diversity of expression. All of these factors contribute to the quality and originality for which Château de Lascaux is celebrated. These same reasons also made it an unavoidable reference point in Pic Saint Loup and Languedoc.

Savoury, spiced Mediterranean herbs on the nose are followed by a palate with a hint of eucalyptus all backed up by ripe red fruit, black fruit, spice and gentle rounded tannins, with a finale of raspberry and liquorice. Instantly approachable, charismatic and of real interest. The Coteaux du Languedox is a generous wine, and certainly an excellent-value Languedoc red.
