Pasquiers Grenache Noir Vin de Pays D'Oc 2024
Pasquiers Grenache Noir is a ripe, supple southern French red from the Languedoc , crafted by Boutinot France from a 40-year-old parcel of cordon-trained vines in the south-western Languedoc. Brimming with dark fruit, spice, and easy-drinking charm, this is Grenache at its most generous. Why You'll Love It Boutinot France has grown from a small importer into one of the country's leading producers, working hand-in-hand with growers across the Languedoc. Their philosophy is to champion traditional varieties and terroirs while crafting wines that are approachable, characterful, and true to their origins. This Grenache Noir is a perfect expression of that commitment, unoaked and unhurried, letting the variety speak for itself. Vineyard and Production The vines are unusually cordon-trained in a region dominated by bush vines, their roots digging deep into sandy, silty soils and producing concentrated fruit fully ripened under the Mediterranean sun. After careful destemming, the grapes are macerated at cool temperatures and vinified without oak to preserve Grenache's vibrant fruit purity. Tasting Notes Expressive aromas of ripe black fruit and sweet spice lead to a palate loaded with juicy berry flavours, liquorice, and soft texture. Rich yet rounded, with no hard edges, this is Grenache at its most generous. Perfect Pairings Perfect alongside Mediterranean fare, think olives, crusty bread, roasted vegetables, herb-infused meats, and aged cheeses. Grape Varieties Grenache
