The year 2021 was marked by the distinctive climatic conditions of the Languedoc, characterized by its Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers tempered by the cool breezes from the sea and the Cevennes. These conditions, challenging yet conducive to viticulture, fostered the development of grapes with concentrated flavors and a balance of acidity that is emblematic of the region’s wines. “Les Terrasses,” named after the terraced vineyards typical of Roquemale’s estate, is crafted primarily from Grenache, with Syrah and Carignan playing supporting roles, each varietal contributing to the wine’s layered complexity and depth.
In creating “Les Terrasses” 2021, Domaine de Roquemale employed a blend of traditional and modern winemaking techniques to capture the varietals’ inherent qualities while expressing the nuanced interplay of the Languedoc terroir. The grapes, carefully harvested at optimum ripeness, were meticulously sorted and vinified to preserve the purity of fruit and the essence of the vineyard’s unique soil composition, rich in limestone and schist. The wine was aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels, a choice that enhances its structure and adds subtle notes of spice and texture without overshadowing the fruit’s vibrant character.
Upon tasting, “Les Terrasses” 2021 unfolds with an expressive bouquet of ripe red fruits, blackberries, and cherries, complemented by hints of garrigue, the wild herbs typical of the Languedoc landscape. This aromatic complexity leads to a palate that is both robust and elegant, where the lush fruit flavors are balanced by a lively acidity and smooth tannins, culminating in a finish that is both long and satisfyingly fresh. The wine’s depth and structure are a testament to the old vines’ ability to convey the intensity and richness of the terroir, making “Les Terrasses” a quintessential expression of Languedoc winemaking.
