The AOC Pic Saint-Loup appellation

The AOC Pic Saint-Loup appellation is one of the benchmarks for wines from the south of France .

Located north of Montpellier, in the foothills of the Cévennes, the Pic Saint Loup AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) vineyard is one of the most prestigious in Languedoc-Roussillon . Located on limestone geology and covered in Mediterranean scrubland vegetation, the vines here produce fine and elegant wines .

The character of Pic Saint Loup red wines

The character of Pic Saint Loup red wines is an ideal marriage between the power of Languedoc wines and the roundness of Rhône Valley wines. This deep red wine is made from three emblematic grape varieties of the Occitanie region: Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache. Its traditional vinification (destemming, maceration, pressing and malolactic fermentation) allows for an authentic transmission of the flavors of this iconic wine .

A portion of this Pic Saint Loup wine (about a third) is aged in barrels for 9 months, bringing a complex aromatic palette and more roundness. This careful design allows the An 1189 Pic Saint Loup collection to offer a rich and creamy tasting. On the nose, this red wine from the south of France reveals an intense and deep bouquet. The palate, meanwhile, is a reflection of its terroir , complex and generous, evoking the Mediterranean garrigue from which its vineyard originates.

For an ideal food and wine pairing, enjoy this Pic Saint-Loup Héritage An 1189 at a temperature of 18°C, with strong red meat or game, grilled or roasted vegetables, and mature cheeses.
