Description

This wine, 'L'idiot', the most recent addition to the already massively popular range and is comprised of 100% merlot. This generous wine is all about plump, ripe red fruit flavours. Think raspberry, red cherry and plum, finishing with a lick of mocha/chocolate character. Soft tannin and low acid keep this wine silky smooth and velvety. Served lightly chilled from the fridge L'idiot makes a fantastic pairing for barbecued meat, poultry dishes and soft cheese.

Maison Ventenac

Hailing from the Cabardès AOC in the northwest of Languedoc, wife and husband team Stéphanie and Olivier Ramé are the third generation of their family to farm in this promising region not far from the city of Carcassonne. Their unique range of wines deliberately eschew the stringent appellation laws of their home region in favour of pursuing qualities beyond those simply expected of them. Vines are organically farmed, with much of their production achieving certification in 2021.

Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon, situated in southern France, is renowned for its diverse and high-quality wines. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine, hot summers, and mild winters, ideal for viticulture. Languedoc-Roussillon produces a wide variety of wines, including robust reds from grape varieties like Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, as well as crisp, refreshing whites and rosés. The area is also known for its excellent sparkling wines, particularly Crémant de Limoux. The diverse terroir, ranging from coastal plains to mountainous areas, and a mix of traditional and innovative winemaking techniques result in wines with distinctive character and depth. Languedoc-Roussillon is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts seeking a rich and varied wine experience.
