Good article. One of the fascinating things about Languedoc and Roussillon is how, each time I read about them, I learn about unfamiliar estates; only one or two here were already on my radar screen.

This was a nice article to be sure. I was struck by one thing however. Look at the names of the importers on the wines the author rates. Almost all of them are top flight US importers. It's almost like cheating. To me the article ends up being a testament to the power of those importers more than anything else.
