About This Wine


Chanmé Méchant

Lightly Sweet Cinsault – Grenache Rosé

Our Double Gold Medal-winning Chanmè Méchant Rosé is crafted in a Provençal style, using a blend of the grape varieties Cinsault and Grenache. However, this wine leans darker in color and fruitier in flavor than the dry, delicate rosés of Provence, and features floral aromas and ripe red and stone fruit notes. Our rosé comes from the Pays d’Oc region in the south of France, separated from Provence by the Golfe du Lion. While strict stylistic expectations rule over winemakers in Provence, the Pays d’Oc offers a breath of fresh air to those wanting to explore new takes on tradition. This diverse region’s warm, sunny climate, drying winds, little rainfall and numerous soil types make it ideal for winegrowing. Winemakers here embrace both New and Old World styles, resulting in exciting wines like this rosé, which will leave you questioning what you thought you knew about French 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.

  • A figure representing the Cherry tasting note. Cherry

Bold scents of sun-ripened wild strawberries and delicate rose petals are followed by a smooth and rounded mouthfeel, modest acidity and pleasing sweetness. Luscious red cherry, yellow peach, and succulent melon flavors prove that French rosé can balance both elegance and fruit.
