Domaine Grand-Chemin - (France)
The Floutier family has managed the Domaine Grand Chemin for more than 300 years or 5 generations. Father, Jean-Marc and his 2 sons, Frédéric and Emmanuel, can let themselves go of renewal and experimental innovations in a region like the Cevennes. More than 50 different grapes are therefore allowed in the Pays d'Oc appellation, which means that there is no other wine region in France where you can display your own input and ingenuity. The legislation here is much looser than in the rest of France and allows flexible handling of grape varieties and grape combinations. In addition, the soil is also unusually versatile and home to many grapes. The Mediterranean climate and the immediate vicinity of the mountains (and the associated cooling) also offer the grapes ample opportunity to reach full ripening slowly and ideally. Grand Chemin guarantees an extensive, surprising and above all delicious range of wines with sometimes unexpected but delicious grape combinations. They also make wines under 3 different appellations: Pays d'Oc, Vins des Cevennes and Duché d'Uzés. This last small appellation is located to the east of the domain and includes 300 ha of vineyards around the town of Uzés, which is an extension of the Rhone valley. Cabernet Sauvignon with Pinot Noir…? Bring it on!

Beautiful golden yellow color. In the nose we find candied citrus fruit, white stone fruit and white blossom. Nice and round and ripe in the mouth. Semi-sweet style that is still fresh and lively to drink. The sweet and candy-like notes are refreshed in the aftertaste by a lively acidity typical of Sauvignon. This nice balance prevents the wine from becoming fatiguing and syrupy.

Languedoc France
Cabernet and Pinot Noir in a rare but enviable and balanced interplay. Shiny, garnet red color with cherry red hues. More than a harmonious assemblage of these 2 quite diverse personalities. Cabernet first manifests itself with notes of berries, cassis and pepper with Pinot Noir taking advantage of its graceful and slightly smoky character to round out Cabernet's more direct character and provide complexity. A hint of cocoa colors the aftertaste. All in all, a sturdy boy, but without showcasing!

A wine that can appeal to enthusiasts as well as laymen and is less difficult to digest than many comparable Rhône wines.
