The select vineyards used to produce the wines of Le Grand Noir are located in the notable regions of Minervois and Carcassone. Situated among rolling uplands and broad plateaus between the Pyrennes and “Black” mountain ranges, the diverse soils are comprised of limestone, chalk, clay, granite, and schist. The mild Mediterranean climate provides ideal conditions for producing high quality fruit. The wines are bottled in association with Celliers Jean d’Alibert.
Harvested at optimum ripeness, the grapes are then cold soaked prior to fermentation. Fermentation in stainless steel continues for two weeks on the skins with 20% barrel aged 6 months in combination French and American oak.
