Garnet colour with brilliant reflections. Aromas of dried figs, quince paste, garrigue and liquorice. A subtle and greedy fine nose.

The cool Mediterranean micro-climate of Languedocs Chateau Lascaux explains the finesse and diversity of the tastes in the wines. The Garrigue (formerly known as "Classique") is made up of 75% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 5% Mourvèdre. Aged in tanks for 14 months before bottling no filtration is applied so as to retain maximum character.

Château de Lascaux gets its origins from the Cavalier family. From some 20 hectares when I took over in 1984, it has grown to its present size of almost 85 hectares of vines surrounded by 300 hectares of garrigue scrub."

The vineyard is totally integrated into a natural environment of incredibly rich biodiversity, providing it with protection and diversity of expression. All of these factors contribute to the quality and originality for which Château de Lascaux is celebrated. These same reasons also made it an unavoidable reference point in Pic Saint Loup and Languedoc.

Instantly approachable, charismatic and of real interest. The Coteaux du Languedox is a generous wine, and certainly an excellent-value Languedoc red. Southern French garrigue aromatics, unctuous juice with weight and power, all while remaining supple and fresh.

"Certified organic (Ecocert) and biodynamic (Demeter). 80% Syrah, 20% Grenache. Destemmed, three to four days' maceration, 14 days of fermentation in stainless steel, aged in concrete tanks for six to eight months.
Spicy leather and garrigue nose. Wild red fruit tinged with leaf-and-stem bitterness. Well-formed, well-modulated tannins allowing the fruit to shine with real clarity. Uncomplicated but a very true expression of Languedoc. Good value."

"A delicious, textured and lively red. The nose offers notes of sour cherries, wild strawberries, tapenade and some Mediterranean herbs. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. A refined texture with a delicious stream of wild berries mingling with dried herbs and spices. Vivid and flavorful finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold."
