Thirty years ago no one had heard of the village of Canet in Hérault, yet today it's well known for its superb, ageworthy reds. Singing out with easy going, bright supple fruit and a touch of oak, Les Songeurs makes delicious drinking. Very moreish.

Most winemakers are daydreamers (songeurs), just hoping to make that one conversation stopping wine. This is talented Mark Hoddy’s version. He has long been an admirer of the silky, elegant Cabernet Francs of the Loire and the richer, more textural clarets from Saint Emilion. So, when the Torquebiau family in Hérault’s renowned Canet village offered him a parcel of exceptional Cabernet Franc grapes, he felt it was a sign! The family’s tiny estate is near the Mas de Daumas Gassac property that 30 years ago shot to stardom when it proved that the Languedoc could make Cru Classé quality wines. Aged in seasoned French oak, this is a supple, silky red with deep fruit, liquorice and spice. Serve with moussaka, veggie kebabs or white meats.
