Britt Karlsson — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 08:05:08 +0000

Château St Jacques d’Albas in Laure-Minervois is run by Englishman Graham Nutter and his French wife Beatrice.

We first got in touch with Graham about five years ago and […]

Mas Zenitude, Terrasses du Larzac, Languedoc

Britt Karlsson — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 08:55:00 +0000

Being Swedish ourselves we always find it interesting to meet Swedish winemakers. Like Erik Gabrielsson, whom we met in September at his domaine Mas Zenitude, in Languedoc. Erik is from southern Sweden and works as a lawyer in Malmö. He bought Mas Zenitude, a domaine of 5 hectares, situated outside the small village of Saint […]

Domaine Sainte Croix, Fraissé des Corbières – BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 09:05:00 +0000

Jon and Elizabeth Bowen decided to settle in the majestic region Haute Corbières in southern Languedoc. In 2004 they bought their own vineyards, starting with 14 hectares divided in 24 separate plots. They have 80 year old carignan and grenache vines growing on poor limestone and schist soil. We met them at Vinisud in February […]

Britt Karlsson — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:45:00 +0000

They make Vin de Pays des Cotes de Thongue, one of the better known vin de pays denominations in the Languedoc. Grapes are mainly syrah, grenache, carignan, cinsault, merlot, roussanne and marsanne. They have 22 ha of vineyards with not very fertile soil (which is of course good for the quality of the wine). It […]

Per Karlsson — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:18:00 +0000

Domaine Grand Guilhem, Fitou In the mountainous part of Fitou, in the small village of Cascastel, on the border to Corbières, that’s where we find Gilles Contrepois (an exiled Parisian) at Domaine Grand Guilhem.

Domaine l’Oustal Blanc, La Livinière, Minervois, Languedoc

Per Karlsson — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 07:19:00 +0000

We’ve stopped counting all the exciting wineries we discover in the Languedoc. But among the interesting ones there are some that stick in memory and stand out. L’Oustal Blanc in Minervois is one of those. The owner is called Claude Fonquerle. He is a very skilled winemaker and often quite unorthodox. Several of his wines […]

Château d’Anglès, Languedoc La Clape

Per Karlsson — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 07:33:00 +0000

La Clape is an appellation not far from Narbonne, on the Mediterranean. It’s a limestone rock that was once an island, mixed with red clay and stones, more stones than anyone would wish for. The area is a protected nature reserve that mixes the garrigue wildlife and vineyards. And it is one of France’s sunniest […]
