The white Languedoc is Picpoul blended with Roussanne and Grenache Blanc, and it has a sort of hazelnut character that reminded me of good Soave, with a herbal note which is romantically compared to the garrigue of the Languedoc landscape. The Picpoul gives a fresh acidity so important for whites while the other two varieties provide substance and stuffing to flesh out the palate.
This Languedoc Blanc is available in Germany, France, Switzerland, the US, the UK and Japan. Wine-searcher.com provides a total of 70 stockists around the world of their various 2012s.
