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: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
