La Cave d’Occitanie at Saint Jean de Védas has a “certain concept of wine” which it holds dear and includes inviting a winemaker to come and present his or her wines every Saturday.
This year, with the arrival of summer, Stéphane and Sophie have decided to innovate by periodically proposing "another concept of wine", focussing on one wine-making sub-region.
On the 16th June, it was the turn of the Terrasses du Larzac sub-region, which featured the wines of Domaine des Conquêtes, Domaine des Grécaux, Domaine Fons Sanatis, Domaine des Crès Ricards and Mas Conscience , not forgetting l’Aveyronnais who supply local produce to the catering sector and the group AOC who provided the musical entertainment.
Naturally, most of the wines were based on Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan; the varieties for which this sub-region is famed. However, the many enthusiasts who attended also had the opportunity to discover the delights of certain vin de pays wines made with "forgotten" grape varieties, such as Aramon or Alicante.
Three cheers for this initiative which proved to be a great success and demonstrates the extent to which true professionals are prepared to go for their "certain concept of wine and how to promote it”.
