 | The impact of the Mediterranean, forests, lakes and hills on the grapes in this southern location is striking and unmistakable. Cépages: Grenache and Syrah About the Producer: Pierre Olivier was the eldest son of a family whose vineyards had long been established in Burgundy. Early in his career, he became the cellar master for an important negociant in Burgundy. During this time, Pierre began to collect his own stock of premier Crus and unique village wines. These wines were hidden during and survived World War II. At the conclusion of the war, Pierre began to sell these wines to customers and further established his reputation as having an excellent nose and palate for the selection of outstanding wines. This tradition, as reflected by the worldwide recognition these wines routinely receive, the passion for viticulture and winemaking continues undiminished in the current generation. Tasting Notes: An elegant, easy and generous wine that bears the pleasant aromas of red fruits.
