Description

20 km north of Montpellier, on the border between Gard and Hérault, the Pic Saint Loup cru is the most northerly in Languedoc and one of the most prestigious. The Pic Saint Loup (658 m) and the Causse de l'Hortus (512 m) dominate a relief whose altitudes approach 150 meters.

The wines of Pic Saint Loup have a very marked identity. The soils, of limestone-siliceous origin coming from scree, and a microclimate contribute to the specificity of our wines. The vineyard is subject to Mediterranean and continental influences; the thermal amplitudes are important, in particular in summer when the days are hot and the nights cool.

Tasting

To the Eye: The intense purple color of the Cuvée de l'Ainé is distinguished by a beautiful shine.

On the Nose: a lot of finesse and a beautiful freshness animates the aromatic palette. The oak is subtle and refined, it expresses itself on larded and smoky notes.

On the Mouth: The material is dense, takes shape around a tasty texture and a tannic sap which gives relief without rusticity. The wine has a texture concentrated in finesse, able to refine and gain in complexity over time.
