The Anne Pichon Sauvage estate was founded by Anne and Marc Pichon in 2008. It is located at the foot of Mont Ventoux, in the village of Mormoiron.
Famous for the Tour de France, this towering mountain—known as the "Giant of Provence"—offers a cooler climate. The fresh mountain air sweeps down to the vineyards, helping to balance the hot, dry conditions of the Southern Rhône.
They built terraces facing Mont Ventoux, converted the estate to organic farming, and continually enhanced biodiversity in the vineyards. The estate cultivates 50 hectares of vines, vinified without additives except for sulfites at bottling. The wines are lively, pure, and authentic.
This blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache reveals all the juicy and lively notes that come from small berries and low yields. The Syrah brings aromas of violets, black currant and pepper, with tastes of little red fruits and licorice. Because this wine is unfiltered a light deposit in the bottle can occur.
This cuvée’s Syrah and Grenache hang on the vine especially long, imbuing the wine with concentration and vibrant power. Raspberry and blackcurrant take the lead, with notes of violet, prune, cocoa, and cinnamon on the multifaceted palate. The Syrah/Grenache is harvested late at an optimal ripeness. This cuvee is very concentrated and powerful with notes of raspberry, blackcurrant, violet, prune, cocoa and cinnamon.
