Terroir: 
The Haute Vallée de l’Aude region benefits from a cooler climate due to its high altitude and proximity to the Pyrenees, which temper the Mediterranean warmth. This unique terroir allows for a longer growing season, resulting in grapes with enhanced complexity and finesse.
 
Viticulture: 
The Pinot Noir grapes are hand-picked to ensure optimal quality. The region’s climate and altitude slow down the ripening process, contributing to the intense fruit character and balanced acidity of the wine.
 
Winemaking: 
The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its fresh fruit characteristics, with 25% of the wine aged in 2nd or 3rd fill French oak barrels for six months. This combination adds subtle oak influences and complexity without overpowering the varietal’s delicate nature.
 
Tasting Notes: 
Les Volets Pinot Noir displays a bright ruby red color with upfront aromas of freshly-picked raspberries and an underlying savory note. The palate offers fleshy red fruits, fine tannins, and juicy acidity, creating a well-structured and serious Pinot Noir.
