Terrasses du Larzac: the freshness of the Languedoc's high-altitude reds

Located north-west of Montpellier, the Terrasses du Larzac appellation is one of the youngest and most dynamic in the Languedoc. Recognised as an AOC in 2014, it stands out for its high-altitude red wines, powerful yet fresh, from complex terroirs and committed winegrowers. An essential appellation for lovers of modern, balanced Mediterranean wines.

A singular terroir at the foot of the Larzac

The Terrasses du Larzac vineyard covers more than 2,000 hectares across some thirty communes, between the Hérault valley and the foothills of the Causse du Larzac. The vines grow at altitudes of between 100 and 400 metres, on varied soils (limestone, sandstone, schist), and benefit from wide temperature swings between day and night, which promote freshness, slow ripening and aromatic complexity.

The wines are made from typical southern blends: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. Each grape variety contributes its share of aromatics and structure. The reds offer aromas of black fruit, spice and garrigue, with a generous palate balanced by lovely vibrancy and elegant tannins.

Reds that are both powerful and easy to drink

Terrasses du Larzac wines shine in their ability to combine Mediterranean warmth with a feeling of freshness. They are perfect food wines, able to accompany a rib of beef, lamb with herbs, a tagine, slow-cooked dishes or matured cheeses. They also suit vegetarian cooking that is full of flavour.

When young, they charm with their intense fruit. After a few years of ageing, they gain in complexity, revealing notes of leather, black olive, garrigue or blond tobacco. These are wines of character, yet approachable, with a strong identity and an assertive personality.

Les Vins de Carole: the rising excellence of the Languedoc

At Les Vins de Carole, we champion Terrasses du Larzac winegrowers who are committed to sustainable viticulture, often organic or in conversion. Our selection brings together two benchmark names: Aubert & Mathieu with the Gaspard cuvée, an organic red with lovely high-altitude freshness; and Domaine Le Clos du Lucquier with the Cuvée Philippe, available as a 2021 red and as a 2017 magnum for those who like to cellar their wines. Thoroughbred, lively reds with a strong expression of terroir, perfect for surprising your guests at the table or enriching your cellar at very gentle prices.
