About This Wine

Chanmé Méchant

Grenache

Bordered by the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, Pays d’Oc is nestled into the southern coast of France. The region is exposed to a continental climate with dry, hot days during the growing season and winds that blow in from the northwest. These winds are incredibly beneficial to fruit that basks in the sunshine – cooler breezes give grapes a chance to develop natural acidity and blow away rot and disease that plagues many other winegrowing regions of France. Bold and big varietals like Grenache that require little babysitting thrive in the environment, and this is a beautiful expression of the famous French wine. Typically a late-ripening varietal, bright red fruit flavors shine when combined with the classic white pepper notes the wine is famous for. Balanced acidity melds with firm tannins, lengthening each sip and making you reach for another glass. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region

Pays d'Oc

If you've vacationed in the south of France, you've probably visited the Pays d'Oc region. Embracing the Mediterranean from Spain to Provence, this region is famed as much for its Grenache, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as its endless sunshine. Pays d'Oc covers non-AOC wines made across this large, sun-kissed region, known as France's "New World." Far from the regulations of the AOC system, pioneering winemakers headed here to experiment, crafting many now-famous wines that often state their grape variety on the label—not something that was common in France before then. IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) within France’s wine classification system focuses on controlling regional and geographical origin. The category is less restrictive than the AOC classification and gives winemakers more freedom with style and taste profile when creating wines.
