Chevalier de Bayard

About this wine from

Languedoc, France

The Languedoc-Roussillon is a seemingly endless landscape formation. The wine-growing region in southern France begins in Nîmes in the east and ends at the Spanish border in the west. It is home to almost half of France's total vineyard area. The Mediterranean microclimate, the many hours of sunshine and the cooling oceanic influence nuance the richness of these wines. Terroir-accentuated wines from granite stone are complex and powerful. Vines rooted in deep slate plateaus beguile with spicy aromas in the glass. And the wines grown on limestone or sandy gravel are palatable, fruity and simply indispensable.
