La Curiosité, which means “the Oddity” in French, invites you on a winding journey to a secret corner of the sunny Languedoc where grapes ripen to perfection. The name refers to a spot in the hills of the Minervois where the lie of the land gives rise to an unusual trompe l’oeil.
"Rich dark fruit and savoury umami flavours characterise this wine, made from grapes high on the schistous terraces of La Livinière, Minervois’ top vineyard area. One of France’s insider secrets, the best wines of the Minervois offers succulent, savoury dark fruit, velvet-smooth tannins and a signature sense of freshness."
France’s ancient Languedoc-Roussillon wine region is also its most dynamic. Sweeping from Provence to the Spanish border, the Languedoc-Roussillon features craggy mountains, rolling hills, salt flats, and broad plains, harbouring vineyard sites and soils of unrivalled diversity. Warm, dry conditions, cooling Mediterranean breezes, and luminous sunshine give intensely-flavoured grapes. If this weren’t enough, cheap land has attracted a new generation of winemakers, bringing investment, expertise and a new appreciation of the Languedoc-Roussillon’s unique terroir.
