Languedoc is smaller than Americans think. It’s about the size of Massachusetts but with a far better climate. For such a relatively small place, there’s a lot of diversity among Languedoc’s wine, from bright, exotic and experimental wines to deep, satisfying traditional stuff. Chateau Massiac is a paragon of the latter. Under the guidance of Bernard Boudouresques and his family, the estate farms organically and makes wine in concrete vats for both fermentation and aging before bottling, an oak-free program which maintains the unvarnished, terroir-driven purity of this deceptively elegant cuvee. The Chateau Massiac is a blend of four parts Syrah to one part Grenache, all given a brooding dark, earthy yet refined cut. Aromas of cassis, blackberry falling off the vine, juniper, and savory herbs like bay leaf and thyme, with a roasted meaty touch that speaks to the proportion of Syrah inside. The palate has a strong tannic backbone, supporting flavors of licorice, cinnamon, deep blackberry, garrigue scented earth, and bitter dark chocolate. A wonderful pairing with pan roasted vegetables and other hearty, homespun fare.
