This southern French beauty has spectacular old-world wine character which belies its modest price point. Give it a spell in the glass and you can breathe in the garrigue notes of wild herbs and bramble leaves lifted by scents of hibiscus flower. The long, warm summer is evident in the juicy red and black cherry flavors. There’s good punch and muscle here with a touch of licorice and earth.
Raspberry, red cherry, rosemary and hibiscus tea.
The transformation in France’s Languedoc region, which runs along the Mediterranean coast roughly from Avignon to the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains, has been remarkable. Everyone from prestigious Bordeaux vintners to fashionable Parisian families wants to own a piece of the Languedoc, whose potential for greatness is not only being realized in the vineyard but also recognized worldwide. Château de Mattes- Sabran is a large estate near Corbières, France’s fourth largest appellation. Jean-Luc Brouillat and his wife continue the family tradition of managing the winery which has been in the family since 1733. Visitors can stay at the winery cottages, only 3 miles from the Mediterranean Sea.
The balance and vibrant juiciness of the Château de Mattes-Sabran make the wine particularly foodfriendly. It pairs well with red meats and game, hearty pork, dark turkey and veal dishes, especially ones that get a boost from an assertive sauce or gravy. Don’t skimp on the freshly cracked pepper, a flavor that complements this blend. Grilling or searing in a hot cast-iron pan will support the wine by imbuing meats with toasty, peppery-sweet flavors. How about my Grilled Flank Steak with Fennel Spiced Vegetables?
Wine production first became important in the Languedoc-Roussillon region under the Roman occupation over 2,000 years ago.
