Grenache
The Pays d’Oc region is classic Mediterranean—nestled at the bottom of Central France, vineyards in the area are regularly exposed to bright and hot sunny skies. Coupled with maritime winds from the Mediterranean Sea, fruit is given a near idyllic growing environment. Our Grenache is planted on rocky limestone soils, which are dense and frequently lacking nutrients, so winemakers must pay particular attention to properly pruning and ensuring the rows receive enough water during the growing season. The result of this labor-intensive babysitting is reflected in this beautiful wine. The 2019 growing season produced a smaller yield than usual, but the fruit picked showed beautifully concentrated flavors and round tannin structure. Pick happened early in the morning to keep fruit temperature low, and after harvest, the wine was left on the skin for 10 days to reduce over-extraction and mai ...

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Pays d'Oc IGP](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/2634/normal/France_Pays_d'Oc.png?1616010329)
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.

Raspberry
A jammy texture jumps out of the glass immediately thanks to bright, vibrant red fruit flavors of strawberry and raspberry. Silky smooth tannins grip the palate and complement a white pepper note at the end of each sip, giving the glass beautiful texture and balance.

M and MME
The most beautiful relationships aren’t the ones that complete one another but rather those that accentuate each other. This is the essence of M and MME. Both beautiful on their own, with their character on full display but even better next to one another with their passion and love shining through.
