Established in the South of France, and not unlike with age-old vineyards, we find our inspiration in our long fruitful relationship with the best producers. Here you will come across our astonishing Pinot Noir from the old high-lying vineyards of Limoux.
Presentation
Presentation
Because the vineyards are located in-between the Pyrenees to the South and the Black Mountains to the North, they enjoy a privileged climatic position where the excesses of the Mediterranean climate are tempered by the softness of the Atlantic influences. This extraordinary mixture - where the days are sunny and warm, where the wind blows almost continuously and where the nights are cool, produces amazing wines.
