The Languedoc Rousillon wine growing region of France has seen a resurgence over recent years and once you`ve tasted wines like the Les Volets Pinot Noir from the Haute Vallee de l`Aude you`ll understand why!

The grapes for the Les Volets Pinot Noir are sourced from the rugges Pays Cathare landacape that encircles the towns of Crcassonne and Limoux, the vineyards here benefot from a combination of warm Mediterranean sunshine during the day but cool evenings thanks to the altitude and geographic location in the foothills of the Pyrenees.

These climatic conditions allow the grapes to grow and ripen more slowly resulting in a fantastic quality of fruit for the winemakers to work with and to develop into wines of great intensity, complexity and finesse. The grapes are mainly hand-picked before vinification takes place in large, aged oak barrels to further add character, flavour and texture.

The bouquet offers aromas of raspberry and red berry fruit with hints of fragrant earthiness typical of Pinot Noir

the palate is rich and fleshy with bright berry fruit flavours layered with savoury & herbal notes, aromatic hints of spiced cherry and elegant oak in the refined finish.
