The Coteaux du Languedoc is one of the appellations within the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region. It’s the most extensive among the appellations but not necessarily noteworthy for its remarkable wine.

there are wines with promise. The Mathiérou is a Grenache-Syrah blend that is well-balanced with a dry, long finish. There are notes of berries, smoke, and pepper.

A chunk of cheese helps tame this astringency and no, American cheese doesn’t count. (06/29/05)
