Red Wine from Languedoc Roussillon

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 94+ Blackberry, currants, toasted spice, graphite and hints of licorice all soar from the glass of Herve's classic 2013 Cptes du Roussillon Villages le Clos des Fees. Made from 50% Syrah, 20% each of Carignan and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: My favorite of the lineup, the 2012 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Le Clos des Fées is a sensational effort that’s most likely the wine of the vintage. Made from 50% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 20% Carignan and the rest Mourvèdre...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Another terrific vintage for this cuvee, the Syrah and Grenache-dominated 2014 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem was harvested between the 12th of September and the 3rd of October with...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: One of the wines of the vintage, the 2014 Cotes du Roussillon la Vignon is the top wine of the estate and is a barrel selection of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Carignan, all from the Aspres region of the Roussillon. It...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: (WA89-90 points) Tasted assembled and awaiting bottling, the Agly Brothers 2009 Cotes du Roussillon smells of peat and black fruits, but with a detached aura of toasted oak in the guise of lanolin, coconut, and caramel...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA91-92+ points) Tasted assembled from tank after recent racking, the 2009 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France v.i.t (the initials standing for "visitare interiore terrae") smells of fennel, rosemary, juniper...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Similarly styled to the Suis l'Etoile bottling, yet a completely different blend, the 2011 La Larme de L'Âme is 70% Syrah, 20% Carignan and 10% Grenache that saw 24 months in older demi-muid. It’s a massive wine that has...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Lastly, the 2013 Languedoc Pic Saint Loup Clos du Pic (Mourvèdre and Syrah) might just be the wine of the vintage. Sporting an inky purple/blue color as well as sensational notes of black raspberries, cassis, caramelized...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The Mourvèdre dominated 2011 Faugères Valiniere (which incorporates a smidge of Syrah) is a full-bodied, big boned, layered and rich Faugères that needs bottle age. Giving up awesome blueberry, licorice, violets and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Much more aromatic and complex, the 2013 Faugères Jadis (Carignan, Grenache and Syrah) is a sensational 2013 that boasts killer notes of ripe blackcurrants, lavender, garrigue and cured meats. Layered, sexy, and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: A new cuvee made from a blend of all three cuvees and possessing another level of elegance and purity, the 300-case 2015 Côtes Catalanes Ipso Facto checks in as 100% Syrah that spent 15 months in new French oak. Notes of...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A powerful red, with a graceful, integrated profile, offering dried cherry, licorice and cured meat flavors, underscored by mineral, rooibos tea and Kalamata olive accents. Mineral and garrigue details pepper the long...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (91-93)+ A big, decadent red is the 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages les Dentelles and it shows its Grenache core with ample red and black fruits, licorice and spice, full-bodied richness, sweet tannin and a big finish...
