Languedoc Rosé, “Qu’es Aquo”
A rich, expressive and aromatic rosé, the Qu’es Aquo is made in the same spirit as the domaine’s red wines, using the same five cépages – Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Carignan – but in a different blend that favors Cinsault and Syrah. The rosé is saignée and vinified like a white wine to emphasize its aromatics. Note, however, that the Qu’es Aquo is a substantial, full-bodied rosé that performs exceedingly well at the table and expresses proudly its roots in this special part of the Languedoc.
“Terre de Jonquières”, Terrasses du Larzac
Previously known as “L’infidèle”, this wine is the historic cuvée of the domaine. It is a blend of all the regional grapes – Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Carignan. The Goumards make choices in the vineyard and in the cellar that will emphasize finesse and freshness in this bottling, allowing for full expression of the fruit. The grapes are partially destemmed. Temperature is rigorously controlled. The cuvaison can extend for as long as six weeks with frequent remontage. Aging takes place mostly in older demi-muids and each grape variety undergoes the primary stages of the élevage separately. Based upon a series of ongoing tastings, the Goumards determine the final blend.
“Les Combariolles”, Terrasses du Larzac
Produced from a single parcel located halfway between Jonquières and Montpeyroux, “Les Combariolles” is an elegant cuvée composed of the three “noble” grapes of the region – Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre – in equal parts. The Goumards feel that this parcel produces a wine of more refinement than one typically finds in the Languedoc – a shade less rustic than “Terre de Jonquières.” “Les Combariolles” is vinified along the same lines as “Terre de Jonquières”, but with a longer cuvaison and an eighteen month élevage.
