The wine region of Pic-Saint-Loup
Languedoc flagship AOC north of Montpellier, shaded by its emblematic peak: signature Syrah as king red (≥50%) with Grenache and Mourvèdre — deep robe with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, violet, garrigue, liquorice and spices, fine tannins and signature mineral freshness from altitude, long finish. Fresh, moreish rosés as backup. Autonomous AOC since 2017 (~1,200 ha), garrigue limestone terroirs, Mediterranean climate tempered by cool nights.
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Largest single French vineyard, dominated by sunny, generous reds. Spicy Syrah, candied Grenache (ripe fruit, garrigue), structured Carignan, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Stars: structured Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian; round Côtes-du-Roussillon. Legendary vins doux naturels: Banyuls and Maury (fortified Grenache) with notes of cocoa, fig, prune.
The word of the wine: Côte des Bar
This is the name given to the vineyards of the Aube, which are closer to Burgundy, and some of the wines produced here bear witness to this proximity. The pinot noir dominates, the meunier is practically absent. Two crus have become references: Riceys, where a rosé without bubbles is also produced, and Montgueux near Troyes, renowned for its Chardonnay.
