BKWine Pick: Château de Lascaux, Vaquières, Coteaux du Languedoc-Pic Saint Loup

Château de Lascaux, Vaquières, Coteaux du Languedoc-Pic Saint Loup

bf15-397-9718In Pic Saint Loup, a short drive north of Montpellier in the Languedoc region in France, you can find many high quality wine producers. One of those is Ch Lascaux, a family vineyard run by Jean-Benoît Cavalier. The property covers 53 hectares, the soil is, as often in this region, very poor. The well balanced wines are characterised by an aromatic complexity and a refreshing acidity. They make several cuvées, for example the white Pierre d’Argent made from Vermentino, Rousanne and Marsanne. http://www.bkwine.com/images/vote-2.gifOr the red Les Secrets, made from Syrah and Grenache grapes with very low yield: spicy and full-bodied.
