3femme

Social media is all the rage today, even in the Languedoc where the Sud de France launched a worldwide synchronized wine tasting that took place today June 21 2010 in NYC, Montpellier, and other countries around the world.

It was fun to speak with the winemakers via the television screen as we tasted the wine, which was well made and delicious.

Below are the wines and some brief notes

- Sparkling : Sieur d’Arques, AOC/AOP Crémant de Limoux, Grande Cuvée 1531
Wow, what a fabulous sparkling wine! The blend changes but it is mostly Chardonnay this vintage

- White : Cigalus, VDP/IGP Pays d’OC, cuvée 2008

Lovely perfumed notes on this blend, a very elegant wine (again, mostly chardonnay) that is almost succulent.

- Rosé : Fruité Catalan, AOC/AOP Côtes du Roussillon

Fun and fruity, it is a gorgeous pink color and great for rooftop parties this summer

- Red : Dromadaire 30670, VDP/IGP Pays d’OC, cuvée 2006

Delicious and substantial enough for grilled steak at a cookout.

- Sweet Wine : Mas de Madame, AOC/AOP Muscat de Frontignan, cuvée 2006

Very light and delicate ... a delicious party kick-off or refreshing dessert wine
