2018 Mas des Montagnes Red Wine – Cotes du Roussillon Villages

Discover Maison Lorgeril’s Côtes du Roussillon red wine—a bold expression of Languedoc-Roussillon’s rugged terroir crafted from grapes grown in the shadow of Mont Canigou’s Pyrenees peaks. This 2018 vintage masterfully combines 50% Syrah’s brooding depth with Grenache’s sun-kissed warmth and Carignan’s lively backbone for a wine that balances power and elegance effortlessly.

Nose: Lush aromas of blackberry jam and dark cherry intertwine with hints of toasted vanilla and cassis, layered over subtle cocoa undertones shaped by its high-altitude origins.

Palate: Juicy black fruit flavors meet bright pomegranate acidity and a touch of ripe yellow peach sweetness for a harmonious medium-bodied sip. Silky tannins frame every mouthful, leading to a long finish that lingers with earthy complexity—a perfect match for hearty meals like grilled lamb or sharp cheeses.

With crisp acidity cutting through richness while amplifying bold flavors, this wine shines at 14.5% alcohol—bold enough for robust dishes yet approachable enough for casual sipping. Its balanced structure makes it an ideal companion to spicy stews or charcuterie boards while showcasing Languedoc-Roussillon’s signature depth.

Sourced from steep slopes where cool mountain air slows grape maturation, this “mountain wine” captures both intensity and finesse—a standout choice for fans of full-bodied Southern French blends seeking exceptional value and versatility.*
