Winemaking

The grapes are harvested at optimum maturity, and following cold pre-fermentation maceration they remain in tanks for two to four weeks. Temperatures are maintained below 28° to ensure that all the fruit and varietal characters of the wine are preserved.

Food & Wine Pairings

This Cabernet Sauvignon lives up to all its initial promise, with a deep garnet colour and complex aromas of red fruits with spicy pepper notes.

The palate is vigorous, with silky tannins and great finesse.

Food and wine pairing: game stew, roast beef with mushrooms, Beaufort.

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.
