The latest issue of Elixir is now available in newsstands. With a spring-themed lineup focused on exploration and the best dining venues in the region.
One year after its debut, Elixir wraps up its seasonal cycle with a well-crafted issue. The rising star of wine publications has made its mark in the industry.
With an increasingly refined visual style and well-paced editorial content, the magazine has revamped some sections and introduced new ones to emphasize its local and human roots. Two winemaker profiles and a vineyard visit contribute to the diverse content.
Featuring personalities from Cévennes (Julien Ducros, from Lafont des Odes domaine), Catalonia (Château Valmy), and Hérault (Marie Durand from Domaine de la Triballe).
Savvy Dining Tips
When it comes to gourmet tips, the issue offers more cellar advice (four wine merchants instead of two now showcase local gems from Thuir to Rodez and from Carcassonne to Montpellier). “Des goûts et des couleurs” highlights seasonal local products with recommended pairings, while the restaurants recognized during last November’s Vinostars receive special attention in “Carte sur table” series throughout the year, showcasing establishments with a rich, carefully curated wine list that focuses on regional wines.
Men and Terroirs
In-depth reports take readers on a leisurely stroll from Uzès, ideal for a weekend getaway with scented markets, authentic cellars, and inspiring restaurants. From the Plageolles family in Gaillac to Château Lancyre in Pic Saint-Loup and the Vignerons de Sérignan, this issue showcases individuals and terroirs aplenty–including the dynamic Vignerons de Sérignan, a standout amid the current cooperative slump as the largest cellar in Occitanie in terms of revenue.
Finally, the magazine delves into the taboo topic of wine pricing in restaurants with a solid feature. Featuring data, testimonials, and initiatives, Elixir sheds light on this controversial issue.
