Languedoc special: Saint Chinian wine touring

Alexandre Jougla checking
there's a spider in your wine...

I've just published an 18-page Languedoc special supplement on lesser-known Saint Chinian wine country, following a trip there at the end of last year, which is free to subscribers of French Med Wine and WineWriting.com or costs £2.50 (less than €3.50 or $4) on its own (emailed as a PDF file with a few nice pics), and not viewable on this blog! This mini touring guide features winemaker interviews and profiles with plenty of hot wine recommendations focusing on these estate wineries: Canet Valette, Cambis, Jougla, Cazal Viel and Laurent Miquel, La Madura, La Femme Allongée, Boissezon Guiraud, Milhau-Lacugue, Bousquette, Navarre, la Maurerie, Pech Menel...

There's also a spotlight on this year's 'Grand Cru selection' competition winners and my favourites (e.g. La Grange Léon, La Linquière, Borie La Vitarèle, Moulinier, Cave de Roquebrun, Les Eminades, Viranel, Champart among others...). Plus a few tips on good eating and places to stay in the Saint Chinian area, such as Château les Carrasses and Le Faitout restaurant, as well as some serious 'high-altitude' turnip talk (aka navets du Pardailhan)...

Buy it for £2.50 (less than €3.50 or $4): pay by card or your with own PayPal account, although you don't need one to do so (click there for more info about this and general terms & conditions): click on the button below!
