Domaine Coudoulet Petit Verdot | Languedoc, France
100% Petit Vedot grapes are sourced from 19-year-old vines grown around the village of Cessaras.
The limestone pebbles in the vineyards give the brand name: in the local language, “Coudoul” is a pebble, the suffix “et” means small.

Food pairing suggestions: The tannic richness of Petit Verdot makes it a very structured wine that goes well with apple and black pudding, or simply a grilled steak. It also works with the acidity of the tomato for lasagna, a chakchouka, an osso bucco.
