About this wine

Les Argelières Cabernet Franc is a modern, expressive red from the Languedoc region of Southern France. It showcases the elegance, subtlety, and signature profile of Cabernet Franc grown on cooler hillside sites, offering ripe black fruits, hints of capsicum, herbs, and a touch of chocolate. Meet the producer Marilyn Lasserre, a pioneering figure in Languedoc winemaking since 2008, focuses on crafting wines that respect terroir and varietal character while combining traditional and modern techniques. Production Grapes are destemmed and crushed, then macerated for approximately ten weeks to extract fruit character while developing supple tannins. Daily tastings during vinification ensure balance, structure, and a smooth, medium-bodied style. Tasting notes Dark purple-red in the glass, with aromas of blackcurrant and green pepper typical of Cabernet Franc. The palate is soft, fruity, and smooth, finishing with gentle spice and hints of cherry and chocolate. Food match Pairs perfectly with simple, hearty dishes such as homemade lasagne, grilled vegetables, or roasted chicken. Grape Cabernet Franc 100% Awards & Recognition The Observer, June 2025: Highlighted as a “perfect fresh red to enjoy in the sun,” noted for its balance of spice, wild herbs, and brambly fruit.
