LE BON CÔTE ROUGE
A delicious blend, resulting in a supple, very approachable wine with ripe red fruit, black cherry and black pepper. Red berries shine on the palate with hints of liquorice.

DOMAINE DES LAURIERS
This property near Pézenas is made up of many different parcels of vines grown on slopes of red clay and surrounded by the herb scented garrigue. They have recently had a modern winery built into a hillside and the wine produced is authentic, fruit driven and well balanced. They are among a small group of Picpoul producers who are making more modern styles of wines but also remain true to the traditions of the appellation. The appellation is helpfully close to the Mediterranean coast, which helps give the wines great freshness and balance.
