Pays d'Oc IGP, France
Light, bright and delicious from an award-winning brand
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Chanmé Méchant
Grenache Blanc
We proudly present the newest vintage of our Chanmé Méchant Grenache Blanc. This wine is all about brightness, showcasing fresh fruit flavors and a tantalizing mineral quality. With previous vintages earning a Platinum Medal and "Best Grenache Blanc" honors, we're excited to see what praise this new vintage will bring. Situated along France's southern coast, the Pays d'Oc region is the perfect setting for Grenache Blanc. This light-skinned mutation of Grenache Noir can be selective about where it thrives best. If it's too chilly, it struggles to develop its distinctive fruity characteristics; if it's too hot, it loses its acidity. Fortunately, the Pays d'Oc has warm summers, cooled by refreshing winds from the northwest. These conditions prevent Grenache grapes from overripening while allowing them to develop their full spectrum of fruit flavors. For the best experience, we recommend ...

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:
Pear
White Flowers
Mineral
Our Grenache Blanc is crisp and bright. White flower aromas create a springtime feeling on the nose. The palate is light-bodied and leans more mineral-driven than fruity. Mouthwatering textures and notes of crisp Asian pear make for a juicy finish that lingers.

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."
