WINE OF THE MONTHSOLD OUT
![]() SOLD OUT "COL DE LAIROLE" From Caves de Roquebrun
Languedoc, France $11 regular price $14 Roquebrun, a picturesque medieval village, is
ideally located above the River Orb and between the two capitals Toulouse and
Montpellier Languedoc. The Cave de Roquebrun cellars are situated in
the Haut Languedoc National Park, which grasp the “brown-rock” Mountains of the
Languedoc, after which it is named. Their 500 hectares of south facing vineyards
are adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea, and blessed with the perfect combination
of abundant sunshine and soft, salted air. The Coteaux
du Languedoc, literally translated as a hill covered with vines, boasts the
noble grape varieties Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Carignan, Roussanne, Viognier
and Grenache Blanc. The extraordinary soils (schistes) of sandstone
and limestone in this region lend rich, mineral driven flavors to Roquebrun’s
robust red wines. Located in the Languedoc region, Roquebrun has won considerable recognition,
both regionally and internationally, as a result of their plentiful terroir,
their dedication and efforts to grow and nurture superior quality grapes and
their history. This acknowledgment has rewarded Roquebrun with
the crowning achievement of their own appellation, Appellation Coteaux du
Languedoc- Cru Saint-Chinian-Appellation village. Their own appellation enables them to highlight
the unique qualities of their products and the benefits of a supreme terroir. The 'Appellation d'Origine Controlée (AOC) is
the highest French wine classification. It indicates that a wine meets strict
requirements concerning the vineyard of origin, the type of vine grown, the
method of production, and the volume of alcohol present. Indulge with the Col De Lairole and take
with you the perfume of their garrigues, the opulence of their schistes, and
the passion of their wine growers. ![]() WHERE The Legendary Divino Wine Locator
