Chateau de l’Engarran 2005, Languedoc, Grès de Montpellier

Britt’s French wine of the month
Chateau de l’Engarran 2005, Languedoc, Grès de Montpellier
Very nicely balanced with good fruit and good structure and body. Excellent to drink now but can be kept for another few years in the cellar. It is dominated by syrah, but there’s also some grenache, carignan and mourvèdre. Château l’Engarran is a beautiful 18th century chateau just west of Montpellier. It is run by the sisters Constance Rerolle and Diane Losfelt and is a producer of consistently well made Languedoc wines.
