Château de Lascaux, Coteaux du Languedoc (Languedoc, France) 2006

($17, Kermit Lynch): In the local dialect, lascaux means limestone and refers to the local terrain.  Unusual for the Languedoc, there is no Carignan in this blend, only Syrah and Grenache, which helps to explain the weight of this fragrant, polished wine.  Fresh and round, it has none of the rusticity or heaviness sometimes seen in wines from the Languedoc. 87 Michael Apstein Oct 28, 2008
