Nestled in the southern part of the country, Languedoc-Roussillon is a distinguished wine region producing a medley of exceptional blends. Minervois La Livinière, specifically, is a treasured gem amongst its offerings.
Unveiled under a sun-kissed climate and blessed by the Mediterranean breeze, Minervois La Livinière wine embodies the essence of its deep-rooted terroir.

Made predominantly from Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre grape varieties, these wines deliver a smoothly defined character of intense warmth and freshness.
Minervois La Livinière wines are noted for their intense colour, often featuring a dense, dark ruby hue. On the nose, they are complex and seductive, revealing nuances of blackcurrants, cherries, spices and hints of garrigue fragrance - Languedoc-Roussillon's unique, aromatic flora. On the palate, you can expect a powerful, well-structured wine, boasting velvety tannins and a striking balance between its fruit-forward profile and an elegant mineral undertone. The wine's lengthy, lingering finish makes it a particularly memorable experience.
As a versatile blend, it pairs beautifully with robust dishes such as slow-cooked stews, grilled meats or aged, hearty cheeses. Its inviting, full-bodied profile can be enjoyed both in its youth and as it matures, showcasing appealingly evolved flavour profiles over time.
