AOC Languedoc, often referred to as the worlds biggest vineyard, stretches across from the Pyrenees to Provence across a vast section of the south of France. Whilst home to both simple table wine and world class quality wines, it is above all famous for it’s variety of grapes, of terroirs, of climates and consequently it’s blended wines. Across the 150miles of vines climates and soils range greatly; from a truly cool, maritime climate to warmer and drier continental climates affected by mountains and strong winds.
Domaine Coste Rousse, located near Magalas in the heart of the Côtes de Thongue within the Languedoc region, is a family-run estate led by Jean-Pascal Taix. The estate produces an impressive range of wines, including four white and seven red varieties, crafted from 11 different grape types. Merlot, Cabernet, and Chardonnay thrive on sandy marl soils, whereas Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan are on the region's sandstone. Recently, the estate expanded with the construction of a state-of-the-art cellar situated on a terrace overlooking the picturesque town of Magalas. This modern facility is designed to provide the ideal conditions for winemaking, featuring precise temperature controls, an adapted fermentation room, and a barrel cellar, with a strong emphasis on gravity flow and optimal air circulation. The winemaking process at Domaine Coste Rousse is focused on maintaining the purity and freshness of the fruit. All wines are vinified in cement tanks under strictly controlled temperatures. The reds are aged in barrels for 12 to 18 months, depending on the vintage, while the whites undergo maturation in vats with regular lees stirring. This meticulous approach results in wines that are notably fresh, tense, and lean—a striking contrast to the often overly extracted and heavy wines traditionally associated with the Languedoc region. The wines from Domaine Coste Rousse offer a refined, modern expression of the area's potential, with a focus on balance and elegance.
