Cevennes Pinot Noir 2024

The Cévennes region is renowned for its rugged countryside and mountains, devoted to sheep breeding and forestry, with vineyards scattered on its lower slopes between chestnut plantations and steep hillsides. It is one of the Languedoc's most distinctive sub-regions, producing wines of real freshness and character thanks to the altitude and cool mountain air. Pierre Montel farms traditionally, letting the terroir speak for itself.

About This Wine

A 100% Pinot Noir from the Cévennes — a rare and characterful expression of this noble grape in the south of France. Fresh and lively with cherry fruit and juicy tannins, with a touch of garrigue — the wild hillside vegetation of the Mediterranean coast, a mix of lavender, juniper, thyme, rosemary, and sage — that gives it a distinctly southern French personality.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Bright ruby
Nose: Fresh cherries with a hint of garrigue — lavender, thyme, and wild herbs
Palate: Fresh and lively with cherry fruit and juicy, soft tannins
Finish: Clean and refreshing with a pleasant herbal note

Food Pairing

Excellent with chicken, game, and pepperoni pizza. The fresh fruit and soft tannins also make it a great match for charcuterie and light pasta dishes.
