Emeric's note

A weeknight lamb chop

Taste profile

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.

Le Chemin des Garennes is the estate's blend of all four classic southern grapes.

Easy to open on a weeknight, good enough for Sunday.

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.
