About This Wine

Chanmé Méchant

Grenache

Our "Best of Class" Chanmé Méchant Grenache is light and fruity. Each sip is full of bright fruit flavors and smooth textures with a touch of oaky spice. Southern France's Pay's d'Oc IGP falls along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Grenache dominates vineyard plantings and feels right at home in the warm climate. Hot daytime temperatures during summer and the cooling effects of local winds help this richly fruity grape variety ripen to perfection. In late August, when the grapes have reached optimum ripeness and flavor concentration, harvest is conducted early in the morning to preserve freshness. This Grenache is approachable and easy-drinking, yet still a serious example of quality French wine. It is excellent on its own or makes the perfect culinary partner for salty appetizers and creamy entrées. 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.

Our Grenache is warm and welcoming. As you swirl, aromas of vanilla and cranberry draw you in on the nose. Each sip is soft and smooth. The palate is light-bodied and bone dry, with juicy black cherry and plum flavors that create a delightful fruitiness.
