Tucades
In the local dialect, "Tucade" is a whim, an extravagance, and is more or less the story of this red wine from Languedoc-Roussillon (France). 2001 is its first vintage. This rich and complex wine retains all of the fitness of its terroir. "Tucade" will only be produced during exceptional years. Perfect with red meat, roast hare or stew.
Winery
Château la Liquière represents 60 hectares under vine, all situated within the zone producing AOC Faugères. Every vintage the vineyard produces 10 different wines. Our offerings are the expression of our terroir, produced by our expertise and experience. Our red grape varieties are composed of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvedre and Cinsault, while our white grape varieties are represented by Grenache blanc, Roussane, Terret and Clairette.
Two wineries are located on the estate : a traditional one, equipped with underground vats in order to work with gravity, and a modern, more functional entity.
The wines are aged in different types of containers (225-litre barrels, demi-muids, vats…) in view of determining the best type of maturing and blending.
This rich and complex wine retains all of the fitness of its terroir and it is only produced in exceptional years. In the local dialect, "Tucade" is a whim, an extravagance, and is more or less the story of this red wine from Languedoc (France) that is a blend of Mourvèdre and Syrah. The first vintage was made in 2001. The nose is filled with aromas of fresh red and black fruits and spices. The palate is fresh and filled with tight tannins and a delightfully long finish. Tucades from Château de la Liquière is perfect to pair with red meat, roast hare, a rich stew, or strong cheeses such as Lagioule, Salers, or a mature Cantal. Available for deliveries within Metro Manila.
