Rhone and the South

Tasting of Languedoc and Rhone wines

• 2005 Château Mas Neuf Costières-de-Nîmes

  France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Costières-de-Nîmes

  Smoot taste, a little tannin, could be kept another couple years, versatile with food

• 2004 Clos Sorian Coteaux du Languedoc

  France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Coteaux du Languedoc

  Very earthy and fleshy, tasted a bit of dried herbs, would last a bit longer in the cellar than a similar Rhone

• 2002 Château les Pins Côtes du Roussillon Villages

  France, Languedoc Roussillon, Roussillon, Côtes du Roussillon Villages

  Intense peppery taste, lots of tannins, need to have with food, earthy and reminiscent of Spanish wines
