This wine comes from a rugged part of the Languedoc where limestone, clay, and Mediterranean sun combine to provide both generosity and finesse, with a style that beautifully unites spice, ripe red fruit, and soft tannins. The origin is substantively important here. What is Minervois? It is an appellation in the Languedoc, named after the ancient Cathar town of Minerve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"604\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"735\"\u003eThe origin clearly gives this wine more depth than a simple Southern French red wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"1720\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"wkg1od\" data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"1014\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"739\" data-end=\"762\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine Pujol originated in Saint Frichoux in the Languedoc and also has vineyards in Laure-Minervois.
