Description
In a nutshell:
A warm and spicy Languedoc blend with lush fruit and a hint of southern French herbs.
The lowdown:
Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre - the 'holy trinity' of Rhône reds - come together in lArbre dOr, but with a distinct Languedoc twist. Grown in the cooler terroir of the Terrasses du Larzac, this has more freshness and spice than its Southern Rhône counterparts, while still delivering plenty of warmth and easy drinkability. With half the blend spending a year in oak, it's generous without being over the top - rounded and supple, with black cherry aromas leading into classic garrigue notes of thyme, rosemary, and a touch of lavender. The ripe fruit and earthy herbs sit comfortably together, balanced by a fine thread of spice and structure. A beautifully judged mix of richness and freshness, all tied up with a long, persistent finish.
The Producer:
Domaine les Caizergues lies in the foothills of the Cévennes, about an hour north of Montpellier, and has been the passion project of British couple Pat and Bob Middleton since 2017. With just over 30 hectares of vines, they grow a range of classic Languedoc varieties, focusing on wines that truly reflect the local terroir. Their commitment to environmentally friendly practices is evident, with organic certification achieved in 2021. The Middletons' dedication to quality and sustainability shines in their wines that feel genuinely rooted in their rugged, sun-soaked corner of the Languedoc.
When to drink:
Smoky barbecue ribs are a cracking match here, with the wine's spicy, ripe fruit notes playing nicely alongside those rich, caramelised flavours.
