Col de L’Orb 2005 AOC St Chinian Cave de Roquebrun
This wine is exceptional value for money. The blend of grapes matches the schistous soils and the climate of the Languedoc perfectly. I am impressed by the quality of all of the wines of La Cave de Roquebrun, which is certainly worth visiting not just for the wine but for the breathtaking scenery and cuisine of the Languedoc. This wine goes well with southern French cuisine whether it is cassoulet , mutton or confit de canard. When I tasted this wine at the Caves, I was expecting to pay much more than 7 EUR per bottle. It shames a bulk produced wine from anywhere in terms of both quality and price. What more could you ask for?
