We rate four of the finest reds sun-scorched Languedoc has to offer. But which one prevailed?
OUR VERDICT
CHÂTEAU DE CARAGUILHES CORBIÈRES 2015
Packed with character with an enticingly soft texture and subtle hints of wild herbs and sweet spice, this organic number is utterly irresistible! £10.99 / $12.50
GÉRARD BERTRAND MINERVOIS 2016
Full-bodied with a velvety, smoky palate and bursts of red cherry, this smooth blend is delightfully moreish. £9.99 / $11.50
SAINT AURIOL CORBIÈRES 2017
Earthy notes and dark berries jostle for attention in this mild, understated red. Just the ticket for novices working up slowly to more robust stuff. £6.99 / $7.90
CHÂTEAU CANET MINERVOIS
Light and surprisingly crisp, this subtly flavoured Languedoc is sure to appeal to white wine lovers. £12.50 / $14.20
