Today's wine is a 2009 Coteaux du Languedoc produced by Chateau de Lascaux, headed by vintner Jean-Benoît Cavalier. It's a French blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 10% Mourvedre. It paired well with my homemade chicken marsala, and (in my opinion) the wine is a good example of the Languedoc appellation. It wasn't too expensive and I'll probably pick up another couple of bottles next time I come across it. It's approachable and serves well as an everyday wine and a table wine, especially when serving Italian dishes.
