Domaine de Bila-Haut: Legendary Languedoc-Roussillon

Domaine de Bila-Haut

Legendary Languedoc-Roussillon

‘For… those who like hand-crafted, highly individual wines that express the place where they were grown and are sensibly priced too, Languedoc-Roussillon is the perfect playground.’ – Jancis Robinson MW

The Chapoutier Bila-Haut Rouge and Blanc – Wine Cellar’s favourite duo from the Côtes du Roussillon – continue to offer some of the best value in our portfolio! There’s a return to freshness with the 2021 vintage, and both the 2021 Bila-Haut Rouge and Blanc are beautifully balanced.

‘The straight Bila-Haut is a no-brainer purchase,’ says the Wine Advocate on the rouge. It’s a moreish, red-fruited, medium-bodied blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan with a mineral, dry finish. Here just in time for spring, the 2021 Bila-Haut Blanc is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne and Macabeu. It’s perfumed, with citrus, mineral notes and a salty finish.

Domaine de Bila-Haut: Legendary Languedoc-Roussillon

The Bila-Haut vineyards are organic and biodynamically farmed. Known for their steep terraces, craggy limestone soils, and low-yielding old vines, these parcels produce wines with flavour and depth, balanced by a stone-like minerality. The sunny climate of the Languedoc-Roussillon gives the wines their generosity, whilst the schist soils offer good freshness.

With Jancis Robinson singing the praises of the outstanding quality coming out of the Côtes du Roussillon, we can’t agree more that everyone should ‘take advantage’ of these ‘seriously under-priced’ wines.
