Chanmé Méchant
Pays d'Oc IGP, France
Our newly released rosé from “Best of Class” Chanmé Méchant is friendly and fruit forward
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Chanmé Méchant
Cinsault–Grenache Rosé
Our Double Gold Medal-winning Chanmè Méchant Rosé is crafted in a Provençal style, using a blend of the grape varieties Cinsault and Grenache. However, this wine leans darker in color and fruitier in flavor than the dry, delicate rosés of Provence, and features floral aromas and ripe red and stone fruit notes.

This diverse region’s warm, sunny climate, drying winds, little rainfall and numerous soil types make it ideal for winegrowing. Winemakers here embrace both New and Old World styles, resulting in exciting wines like this rosé, which will leave you questioning what you thought you knew about French wine. S ...

WINE REGION:
Pays d'Oc IGP
If you've vacationed in the south of France, you've probably visited the Pays d'Oc region. Embracing the Mediterranean from Spain to Provence, this region is famed as much for its Grenache, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as its endless sunshine. Pays d'Oc covers non-AOC wines made across this large, sun-kissed region, known as France's "New World." Far from the regulations of the AOC system, pioneering winemakers headed here to experiment, crafting many now-famous wines that often state their grape variety on the label—not something that was common in France before then. IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) within France’s wine classification system focuses on controlling regional and geographical origin. The category is less restrictive than the AOC classification and gives winemakers more freedom with style and taste profile when creating wines.

TASTING NOTES:
Strawberry
Melon
Cherry
Bold scents of sun-ripened wild strawberries and delicate rose petals are followed by a smooth and rounded mouthfeel, modest acidity and pleasing sweetness. Luscious red cherry, yellow peach, and succulent melon flavors prove that French rosé can balance both elegance and fruit.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Chanmé Méchant
The French take their food and wine very seriously, but that does not mean they don't enjoy a bit of fun. Chanmé Méchant is a playful French "verlan"—a word that flips its sound to create a phrase that captures opposites. Chanmé, meaning enjoyable, and Méchant, meaning wicked, come together to form a fitting name for these informal French wines, which are, in fact, "Wicked Good."
