A.O.C./A.O.P.
the Pic Saint Loup wine growing area takes its name from the local mountain which is located twenty kilometres or so north of Montpellier and reaches a peak of 658 metres. Of all the site-specific areas of Languedoc, this is the most northerly. Vines are grown in 13 villages amongst the lower foothills, on soils of limestone scree and Oligocene conglomerate where they thrive. At this elevation (vines are grown at an altitude of around 200 metres) springtime temperatures are cooler than in other parts and rainfall is higher.

the Pic Saint Loup appellation produces both red and rosé wines. The reds are powerful, concentrated and boast a distinctive silky texture. They exhibit aromas of ripe fruit, bay, spices, mint, cinnamon, liquorice and vanilla. They pair well with red meat, game and cheeses. The rosés are rich, full and fruity (raspberry, redcurrant, strawberry), providing the ideal match for barbecues, mixed salads and patés.
