TERRASSES DU LARZAC（拉札克梯田）是農友選出來的優秀產區，她靠近美麗的聖吉揚萊代塞爾村莊（ST-GUILHEM-LE-DESERT）， 這個位於寬敞朗格多克山坡面的產區， 遲早也應該會被法定為獨一無二的產區。她擁有非常多樣化的土質，高陳年潛力的會在崎嶇山地，例如ST-JEAN-DE-LA-BLAQUIERE（聖讓德拉-布拉基埃），另外複雜的有高地PAS DE L'ESCALETTE一帶擁有石灰土，一直延伸到LODEVE（洛代夫）以北。不能錯過的有LAC DU SALAGOU充滿紅色的火山土壤和 JONQUIERE 的冰川礫石，還有著名的冰川土壤ARIANE（阿尼亞訥）區。地質的多樣性可令風土感覺更突出，令拉札克區更精彩迷人。酒的風格和多變的土壤一樣，濃厚密集，充滿戲劇性，絕非等閒之輩。
這裡近百年的Carignan樹的產量很低，因為它們於乾旱的ruffes土壤生長。所有工作也是由人手完成，因為拖拉機不能在田野間通過，自古以來翻土都是靠馬匹拉動。以自然分解了的糞土作肥料，去除多餘枝節，嚴格控制收成。限量生產3,000瓶。

TERRASSES DU LARZAC is an outstanding production region, it is located very close to a beautiful village called ST-GUILHEM-LE-DESERT where this Languedoc hill slope region would someday be named as another AOC. There are a variety of soils, rugged hillside are lands of ageing potentials such as ST-JEAN-DE-LA-BLAQUIERE。Other plots of land with complexity are highland plateau like PAS DE L'ESCALETTE which has limestone soils stretching to north of LODEVE. Red volcanic soils of LAC DU SALAGOU, glacial gravel of JONQUIERE and the renowned glacier soil of ARIANE are not to be missed. The diversity of soil contributes to terroir image of the wines, this is the reason why LARZAC is interesting. The wines are as diversified as the soils, amazingly dramatic and unusual.
The hundred year old carignan vines have a low yield since they grow on ruffes, the arid red soil typical of this area. All work is by hand, as tractors can not pass between the rows of vines, since they were planted when ploughs were pulled by horses. Treated with composted lees and manure, crushed unwanted shoots, thorough spur removal, hard pruned. Strictly controlled yields. Limited production of 3,000 bottles.

Tasting Note:
Deep purple in colour, a slightly peppery nose enhanced with red berries (bilberries, wild blackberries, redcurrants) and cocoa beans, lively yet silky tannins in the mouth, this wine is seriously mouth-watering. A wine for connoisseurs and special occasions... A powerful, elegant wine, with classy roots, full of character.
Food Pairing:
Serve with meats in sauces, such curried lamb, beef cheeks with tomatoes. Essential to decant for at least 2 hours, serve at 17 degrees C.
