DESCRIPTION

The Côtes du Roussillon Villages from Domaine de Bila-Haut by M. Chapoutier is a powerful and expressive red wine crafted from Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan. Grown on the stony, schist soils of the Roussillon Bila-Haut vineyards, the V.I.T cuvée stands for "Very Important Terroir", Bila-Haut most iconic and elevated vineyard plot, delivering depth, complexity, authenticity and remarkable balance. Concentrated yet fresh, it is a benchmark example of the region's potential for producing structured, elegant wines that can be comparable to the best Rhône wines.

EYE

This wine displays a deep garnet-red color with purple highlights, dense and luminous in the glass. Its intensity suggests power and concentration.

NOSE

The bouquet is complex and intense, revealing aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum. Notes of garrigue herbs, black pepper, and licorice add layers of Mediterranean character.

MOUTH

On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with flavors of dark fruits, spice, and subtle earthiness. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated, while a fresh acidity keeps the wine lively. The finish is long and elegant, with persistent notes of black fruit and herbs.

PAIRING

Ideal with roasted lamb, grilled steaks, or hearty stews. It also pairs beautifully with cassoulet, game dishes, and aged cheeses, making it perfect for robust, flavorful meals.

Domaine de Bila-Haut

Domaine de Bila-Haut, owned by the Chapoutier family, is located in the heart of the Roussillon. Known for its biodynamic and sustainable vineyard practices, the estate produces wines that are pure, precise, and deeply rooted in their terroir. The white cuvée is crafted to reflect the Mediterranean climate and the stony soils that give the wine its unique character and freshness.

Languedoc-Roussillon

The Languedoc-Roussillon region, located west of Provence and South of the Rhône valley, on the Mediterranean Sea, is the largest wine region of France. It is known for its rich wine and culinary history influenced by the Roman period and its mediterranean culture and climate. Benefiting from "usually" good growing conditions, winemaking creativity and experimentation thrive here, as new generations of producers have focused on premium wines and organic or natural farming. Native red grape varieies such as Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault result usually into bold and smooth red blends with always a touch of earthiness or dry herbs. This region is diverse and exiciting in its offerings, and offer a wide range of wines from simple single varietals to sophisticated red blends that will compete against the best wines in the world. Enjoy Languedoc wines with grilled meat or fish (for the whites), lamb stews, or any mediterranean dishes.
