Fortant 2023, Languedoc, France: Fortant Grands Terroirs Languedoc is a medium-bodied blend of Syrah and Grenache from Minervois, aged on its fine lees in concrete and stainless steel tanks to build texture and freshness without a trace of oak. On the nose it's earthy and aromatic, with , cracked black pepper, wild garrigue, and schist that tells you exactly where it's from. The palate is juicy and focused, with plum, cocoa, thyme, and a long, savoury finish with supple tannins that make it one of the better value reds coming out of the south of France right now. Robert Skalli put the Fortant brand on the map in 1987 when he pioneered the radical idea of printing the grape variety on the label in France, a move that transformed how the Languedoc sold its wines internationally, and the Skalli family built their empire after relocating from Algeria to southern France in 1964. Drink it now through 2028 with a blade roast braised in red wine, where the wine's dark fruit and pepper lock in with the richness of the meat, or try it with wild mushroom bisque.
