Since 1701, in the Languedoc region of Southern France, our family has cared for the vineyards of Montrose with passion. To carry on this legacy we are committed to biodiversity, preservation and sustainable development.
This fruit-forward wine comes from low-yield vines, which produce grapes with depth and concentration.
