Rosé Duo des Plages, Pays d'Oc 2024

Rose Wine from France - Languedoc - Roussillon

8 Reviews

In a Wine Champions tasting where ‘what separated the really good from the good was length’, this popular Languedoc pink stood out, its charming, ‘juicy and fruity’ character persisting on the finish. A pale, easy-drinking rosé to savour on its own or with salad, pizza, fish and chips, or something with a little spice.

LGI

LGI was the brainchild of Alain Grignon, formerly of the Foncalieu co-operative group, who had the vision of making inexpensive wines designed specifically for the export market. In this he was helped at the beginning by English merchant, and ex- Waitrose buyer, Mark Lynton.

Most of the wines are sourced from a number of cooperatives, mostly along an axe between Carcassonne and Béziers with some fruit also coming from Limoux and from further away in Gascony. The winemaking and bottling is supervised by Xavier Roger, a Sancerrois and recently promoted to chief executive.

The core business remains at entry-level prices, which, for The Society, means delicious wines like Domaine Laborie, Domaine Raynier and the marsanne-viognier blend, Pierre Borde, but LGI is also able to act as broker for several top estates. For The Society, this includes Domaine Barroubio in Saint-Jean de Minervois and Christophe Barbier in La Clape.

Fresh and smooth and exuding an effortless ease, this pale rosé is made from about three-quarters cinsault with 20 per cent grenache and a touch of syrah. Refreshing, light and easy going, this isn’t completely dry which sometimes bothers me but this is fresh enough to get away with it.

The good old Wine Society’s Duo series wines are easy-glugging, great value for money bottles and this year’s Plages is a night-harvested mostly cinsault and grenache combo plus a splash of syrah. This exuberant pink’s dry, herby fruit is just the ticket with seafood.

A mostly cinsault grape Pays d’Oc, with a dollop of grenache and dash of syrah creating a ripe yet dry, herby sip.

Provençal pink with an orange tinge. Low-temperature fermentation and lots of fruit with the residual sugar counterbalanced by acidity. This should waltz off the list! Good value.
