Le Grand Noir Chardonnay Pays d'Oc

Le Grand Noir puts a modern twist on Southern French Chardonnay with a clever dash of Viognier for added aroma and excitement. It originates in the Pays d'Oc region of Languedoc-Roussillon, where sunshine and cool influences combine to create fresh, accessible wines. What is the blend of this Le Grand Noir Chardonnay? 85% Chardonnay and 15% Viognier.

Vineyards and region

The grapes come from France, Languedoc-Roussillon, within the IGP Pays d'Oc. The Mediterranean climate produces ripe fruit, while the altitude and proximity to the sea preserve freshness. The result is a style that emphasizes purity and aromatic expression.

Vinification and maturation

The cuvée is composed of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Viognier. The aroma profile reveals a subtle hint of oak, along with tropical fruit and ginger, which adds complexity to the wine without sacrificing its freshness.
