Bordeaux may hold the crown for best Cabernet Sauvignon in France but don’t underestimate the potential of the Languedoc’s top vineyards and ambitious winemakers Hoddy and Sauboua. This is a dense, luscious red, packed with cassis and toasty spice.

The Story Behind the Bottle
Chai winemakers Jean-Marc Sauboua and Mark Hoddy reserve their Belle Roche label for a wine made from the best parcel of grapes of the vintage. In 2019 they found just what the ticket in a few rows of dazzlingly dark Cabernet, grown in high up vineyards close to Carcassonne, in the Languedoc. There the climate benefits both from Mediterranean and Atlantic influences, hence a wine that echoes both of the warm ripeness of the Med with the structure of Bordeaux. It's a densely flavoured red, its colour almost black – the reason they call it their precious ‘black diamond’ of the vintage. Meticulously crafted at Le Chai, Belle Roche is best decanted an hour before serving, just like a claret. It’s ideal with a juicy steak or a hearty casserole.
