Le Cellier du Pic
Le Cellier du Pic operates in Languedoc-Roussillon, a region defined by Mediterranean warmth and ancient limestone soils that shape wines of depth and structure. The winery's portfolio centers on Rhône varieties—Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre—blended in proportions that reflect the terroir's character. Château d'Assas Réserve, a three-variety blend anchored by Mourvèdre with Syrah and Grenache, and Château d'Assas Rouge, a Syrah-Grenache pairing, both merit attention from serious drinkers; Decanter has rated both at 90 points. Tour du Roc Pic Saint Loup, a Syrah-Grenache blend from the appellation's northern reaches, scored 88 points with the same critic. These wines embody the southern Languedoc style: ripe dark fruit, mineral undertones, and the textural grip that Grenache and Syrah deliver in this climate.
