AOC Pic Saint Loup

The Pic Saint Loup AOC is probably one of the most beautiful and renowned in the entire Languedoc-Roussillon region. It covers 1,300 hectares and mainly produces red wines (85%) as well as some rosés (15%). The soils are clay-limestone and the majority of the vineyard is planted around 150m altitude. This location allows the area to experience significant temperature variations between day and night, slowing the ripening of the grapes and thus preserving the freshness in the cuvées. The grape varieties Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre must make up at least 90% of the red wines and 70% of the rosés.The cuvées from this appellation generally offer notes of red and black fruits, wonderful spices as well as a beautiful structure that allows for excellent aging over time. Let Domaine La Chouette du Chai transport you to this superb terroir!
