Wine of the Week: Languedoc by Ricardelle

As winter evenings settle in, I’ve found the perfect companion: Languedoc by Ricardelle. Its garnet hue catches the eye, while the ripe red fruit aromas immediately feel warm and inviting. From the first sniff, you know this wine is made to be enjoyed slowly.

The blend of Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, aged in stainless steel, keeps it fresh and lively. On the palate, it is round, supple, and smooth. Every sip feels balanced and satisfying. The 14.5% ABV gives just enough warmth to complement the season without overpowering.

I first tried it with cheese one evening, and it felt like the wine wrapped around the food like a cozy blanket. A few nights later, I poured it alongside roast beef. Once again, it paired perfectly. Its balanced tannins make it approachable and versatile, whether you’re enjoying a meal or sipping alone.

For a seasonal twist, try it with roasted root vegetables, a winter vegetable tart, or a creamy mushroom risotto. I love how the bright fruit notes lift the rich, savory flavors. It’s also wonderful on its own, curled up with a blanket and a good book, turning an ordinary evening into something special.

Languedoc by Ricardelle shows that careful blending and thoughtful aging create a wine that is vibrant, approachable, and memorable. Light a fire, pour a glass, and let this Languedoc red warm your winter nights while bringing out the best in your food.
