Winemaker
Benjamin Taillandier farms organically in the Minervois. His work is guided by a preference for attentive vineyard care and a lighter hand in the cellar.

Wine
Cinsault leads Laguzelle, with Carignan and Syrah adding definition. Restrained extraction keeps the wine fragrant and supple. Red berries, a floral lift and a little pepper. The palate is light, dry and refreshingly clear, with no need for oak to make the point. Chill it slightly and pour with charcuterie, chicken skewers or grilled vegetables.

Origin
The Minervois lies inland in the Languedoc, between Mediterranean warmth and the foothills of the Montagne Noire. Limestone and stony clay soils are part of the regional landscape. Differences in elevation and exposure help temper the summer heat and preserve freshness.
