Description
The balance and roundness of a red wine from Pic Saint-Loup
The property
Managed by the three Ravaille brothers, Jean-Marc, Pierre and Xavier, the Domaine Ermitage du Pic Saint-Loup (which became the Heritage of Pic Saint-Loup from the 2021 vintage) is an emblematic estate of Languedoc. The estate is located in a grandiose setting, bathed by the influence of the majestic Pic Saint-Loup and the Mediterranean, on the hills of Saint-Mathieu de Tréviers. Thanks to the work of the 3 brothers, the estate has distinguished itself by the style of its wines offering one of the most beautiful expressions of Languedoc. Attached to their vines, the Ravaille brothers cultivate the vineyard in biodynamics, without any use of pesticide and with soil plowing.
The vineyard
The vineyard of the Domaine Ermitage du Pic Saint-Loup is located on a very large Languedoc terroir with a real mosaic of terroirs. The vines are planted on hard limestone soils, soft limestone, conglomerates, dolomite, limestone scree of river origin and marls. The Pic Saint-Loup area is characterized by its sufficient level of winter precipitation, dry summers and significant thermal amplitudes between night and day allowing an ideal maturation cycle for the vine. The characteristics of this area make it referred to as the "climatic singularity of Pic Saint-Loup that persists regardless of the vintage".
The wine
Produced under the Wines of Languedoc - Pic Saint Loup appellation, the Sainte Agnès cuvée is made from vines located mid-slope, on clay-limestone soils composed of white clay and hard limestone.
