About This Wine

Chromatrope

Merlot

The south of France is a magical place to explore as a wine lover. With large swaths of land that are devoted to environmentally friendly viticulture, our experts love winding down country lanes and tasting new wines from all over the region. The natural biodiversity and life-cycles of the vines determine the winemaking techniques that many of the growers and winemakers employ. This wine was made with gentle techniques to obtain a well-balanced structure with restrained fruit and light tastes of herbs. We have been loving it with red meats or roasted duck. Judges love it too! It took home a Bronze medal at the 2018 Harvest Challenge.

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.
