Brought back from the Vignerons de Serignan Cave Cooperative.
I bought two bottles at €8 each from a Dutch expat employe of the Cooperative. The disappointment of the first bottle led me to think that both had been ruined by being left to the mercy of the Languedoc heat whilst entombed in our roof box. This second bottle makes me think otherwise. Despite the cork pushing out the top of the foil, this is really quite agreeable. There is spice and cream initially which gives way to vibrant (but not brash) fruit. Not a million miles away from a Faugères style. One imagines the grape varieties will be similar (carignan, grenache?) but surely the terroir must be very different? This was so close to the sea with not a whiff of schist in sight.
