Le Moine - Pinot Noir | Pays d'Oc IGP
Red wine | France, STREEKWIJN/IGP | 2024
In the glass, a clear ruby-red color reminiscent of cherries. The nose is refined and lively, with notes of strawberry, red cherry, and raspberry, complemented by hints of vanilla and clove from oak ageing. The soft tannins and refreshing acidity make this wine elegant and well-balanced, with red fruit and spicy aromas and a harmonious finish.

Vinification
The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in Limoux (Languedoc-Roussillon). They grow on clay and limestone soils and benefit from the cool influence of the Pyrenees, ideal conditions for developing their aromatic finesse. Prior to alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes a cold maceration. During fermentation, the cap of skins and pulp is punched down daily, allowing the wine to fully develop its colour and aromas. After fermentation, the Pinot Noir is aged for eight months in oak barrels, contributing to its refinement and complexity.

About Secret Vineyards
In May 2012, four friends were sitting around a table enjoying good food and a few excellent bottles of wine. The evening was brightened by opera, with a performance by the renowned soprano Noémie Schellens. It was that night that the idea for these wines was born. One of the wines was naturally named “Noémie”, as she was the crystal-voiced singer who accompanied and delighted them that evening.
The friends went on to purchase vineyards and have wines made on site, following their own chosen methods. The vineyards are located in the Pyrénées-Orientales department, between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains of Corbières, Canigou and Albères, as well as in Limoux, Maury and Tautavel.
