A Little Background
Charles Pacaud makes very good, very serious wines from the best part of the AOC Côteaux du Languedoc – the sub appellation known as Les Terrasses du Larzac. His wines regularly appear in the ‘Wine Spectator’, receiving high eighty and ninety point ratings. See our original Newsletter for more information about Charles and his winery.
Enjoy the Languedoc, from Andrew Jefford: Decanter January 2009 (pg 21)
"...Geologically, the Languedoc hills are a synopsis of everything which makes France so propitious for winegrowing... Surely in any other country, those Languedoc hills would have been a star region; their misfortune was to find themselves sharing a nation with Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Loire and the Rhône. And, too far from Paris.
But where is the best spot in the Languedoc? My theory is that Terrasses du Larzac is the greatest spot in the Languedoc... Stone and slopes alone don't make for great wine - as much of Provence proves - but when skilled winegrowers grapple intelligently and sensitively with nature here, the results seem to me to have the same aromatic, textural potential as the best of the Rhône..."
2006 was a very good year in the Languedoc. This wine comes in convenient six-bottle cases. We will be taking your orders to the LCBO this coming Friday, March 2nd.

Coming next from Arthur’s Cellar
 While it might be seem like a long time till those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, we need to get your orders for our thirst-quenching Rosés on their way. And, what better way to start than with what arguably could be the finest Rosés from Provence – Domaine Gavoty? Theirs are a truly up-scale Rosés that can be found in most of the finest establishments in France like Restaurant Taillevent and Le Jules Verne La Tour Eiffel in Paris, Le Louis XV Alain Ducasse in Monaco and La Messardière in Saint Tropez. They also produce a most delightful white that we will include in the offering.
