Chanm Mchant 2020 Pinot Noir Pays d’Oc IGP, France

Description

If when you think Pinot Noir you think of the historic Burgundy region, we understand. However, our Chanmé Méchant’s seamlessly integrated red fruit flavors and oak beckon you south, to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Here, cooling northern winds allow finicky Pinot Noir to find a perfect balance of ripe fruit flavor without losing its hallmark acidity. Since the beginning of its viticultural history, the Pays d’Oc region has been a hub for exciting experimentation and advancements within the wine world. This is not always common in France, where authorities emphasize terroir, and strict wine laws govern which grape varieties may be planted in each region to ensure its wines are a true reflection of that area. Due to the Pays d’Oc IGP’s many soil types and microclimates, 63 varieties are permitted in this region, where other areas may only have 5 or 10. This freedom to explore makes this southern French region a great place to find exciting new wines and a delicious source of high value.
