Winemaking

For Pinot noir, the grapes are harvested at night in perfect sanitary condition at optimum maturity and the wine is made in the traditional manner in stainless steel tanks, maceration for two weeks and regular cap punching.

Careful harvesting and handling enable this Pinot Noir, which is a variety particularly sensitive to oxidation, to fully express its varietal nature and develop fine and characteristic aromas of wild berries.

Food & Wine Pairings

Limpid and brilliant ruby red in colour, vivacious nose with delicious aromas of red fruits such as raspberry and cherry. The palate is ample and silky.

Food and wine pairing: rooster in wine, braised endives, brie de Meaux.

IGP Pays d'Oc

Grown between the Mediterranean and the mountains, IGP Pays d’Oc varietal wines cover an extensive sun-kissed area from the Camargue to the Vermillion Coast, in the heart of France’s largest wine region which is also renowned for its appellation wines.  

Its climate promotes healthy vines. The IGP Pays d’Oc production area covers the length and breadth of Languedoc-Roussillon:

  • France’s third most sunny region
  • Home to garrigue moorland, pine forests, olive groves, lush meadows, oaks and strawberry trees
  • Promoting synergy with nature
  • Buffeted by 4 regional winds
  • Boasting good soil and weather conditions

Pays d’Oc is such an extensive wine region that it is naturally home to an extraordinary range of soil types, that can vary from sandy terrain along the coast to limestone, schist, clay or stony gravel on the valley floors and hillsides.
