Ep 184 - Fitou AOC

This week we are talking about the Fitou AOC. Fitou is a small wine appellation in southern France that is a part of the larger Languedoc-Roussillon wine region area. Wine Recommendations Maison Carrel Sous la Montagne Fitou 2016 - priced around $25. Deep purple color wine with aromas of candied strawberries like red Australian Licorice It's dry with medium plus acidity and tannins and flavors of red fruits, rock, violets and kalamata olives Very fruit forward wine that smells sweet It's young, wild and rustic - like a horse that hasn't been tamed - we would recommend pairing with food or let it age for a few years to mellow it out. Gérard Bertrand Fitou 2009 - priced around $20. Thanks to age this wine has the color of coca-cola like a brown-amber color This wine is also very sweet smelling of dried strawberries and raspberries as well as balsamic and walnut It's dry with medium acidity and tannins with flavors of dried figs, molasses, balsamic reduction We could smell this wine all day long so intoxicating Wines like this makes us want to buy a bunch of wine to age and is definitely worth more than the $20 we paid for this wine Sources Wine Searcher Wine Folly: Languedoc Roussillon Wine Region Languedoc Wines Fitou AOC The Guardian: Fitou Wine
