Hecht & Bannier Languedoc Rouge 2020 Classic

Hecht & Bannier Languedoc Rouge 2020 Classic: A Fresh and Spicy Expression of Southern France

Hecht & Bannier Languedoc Rouge 2020 is an approachable red wine from the Languedoc appellation in southern France, a sun-drenched region known for producing expressive Mediterranean wines. Crafted from a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan, this organic red brings together the generous fruit of the region with savoury spice and refreshing character. Hecht & Bannier was founded by Gregory Hecht and François Bannier, whose focus is on showcasing the distinctive terroirs of southern France through carefully selected wines.

In the glass, it displays an attractive carmine-red colour, opening with inviting aromas of ripe red cherries and other red fruits, complemented by peppery and warming spice. The palate is balanced and medium to full-bodied, with supple tannins and a smooth texture. Cherry and plum flavours mingle with subtle dried herbs and spice, leading to a fresh, savoury finish that makes the wine enjoyable and easy to appreciate.

The 2020 blend brings together Syrah sourced from Saint-Chinian and Terrasses du Larzac with Grenache from Roussillon, complemented by Carignan. The grapes are organically certified, and the wine is matured entirely in concrete vats rather than oak barrels. This approach preserves the freshness of the fruit and allows the Mediterranean character of the blend to shine through, without heavy oak influence. The result is a versatile red that balances generous flavour with an inviting, uncomplicated style.

Serve slightly cool, around 14 to 16°C, to bring out its fruit and spice. Its lively character pairs well with grilled meats, beef skewers, roast chicken and Mediterranean dishes. It is equally suited to charcuterie boards, tapas, savoury tarts and tomato-based pasta, making it a dependable choice for relaxed dinners and casual gatherings.
