Winemaker
Mas de Costeplane's work begins with its biodynamic vineyards. The estate values the links between soil, vine and surrounding habitat, giving farming the leading role.

Wine
Syrah, Merlot and Carignan form the blend in Lou Canoun Rouge. Red berries and a little spice, with a supple, juicy palate. The wine has enough savoury detail to work with food without losing its easy appeal. Pour with sausages, roasted peppers or a simple pasta supper.

Origin
Cannes-et-Clairan sits on Costeplane's clay-limestone plateau in the Gard. Mediterranean heat develops ripe red fruit, but night air descending from the Cévennes slows the pace. That contrast helps the southern blend retain an appetising freshness.
