Tasting Notes

Vinci Côtes Catalanes "Roc" is a 100% Grenache red wine with an aromatic expression of ripe fruit, with lovely aromas of liquorice, rosemary, and thyme. Powerful, lively and smooth, marked by south of France aromas like ripe fruits, herbs, and leather / animal notes on the finish.

France

Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is the largest wine region of France with almost a quarter of the national total production. The region is located in the south, in the western part of the Mediterranean Sea from the Spanish border towards Montpellier. Languedoc-Roussillon is showing significant progress in the quality of its wines.

Domaine Vinci

The soils in the Languedoc-Roussillon region vary according to the AOC and IGP scheme. From vineyards to vineyards one can find vast pebble terraces, sandstone clay, calcareous clay, limestone and shale, clayey soils, sandy soils, representing a valuable asset for promoting the quality of the wines. We can distinguish the composition of soil near the coast (alluvial soils) from limestone and gravel based soils inland. Poor soils are a common characteristic of the region, which forces the roots digging down very deeply to get water and nutrients.

    Did not enjoy this one

    • Vinci “Roc is a natural wine and sometimes need time to open and show its potential.

    Maybe the nicest natural Grenache I have had. Truly bursting with berries after opening for a bit, lovely to savour slowly with dinner
