The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

Château Capion is a 45-hectare estate between Aniane and Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, in the Gassac valley, at the southern edge of the Terrasses du Larzac, certified organic.

This is their pure Cinsault, a grape usually hidden in southern blends, here on its own.

A picnic red, light enough for the hottest day.

Languedoc map

The place

Languedoc

A vast Mediterranean sweep from Nîmes to the Spanish border, the Languedoc has gone from bulk-wine sea to France's most exciting frontier. Old Carignan and Grenache on schist and limestone give garrigue-scented reds; the coast yields zesty Picpoul de Pinet; Limoux makes sparkling wine that predates Champagne. France's largest organic vineyard area.
