In the upper garrigue, twenty kilometers north of Montpellier, a highly characteristic silhouette stands out. The bold profile of the Pic Saint-Loup exudes an almost mystical atmosphere. From its height, it overlooks the plains and hillsides, at the foot of which traditional villages lie, between pine forests and garrigue scrubland.
The Pic Saint-Loup terroir is the northernmost of the Languedoc terroirs. The blend of Mediterranean and continental climates provides its original character. Late summer differences in daytime and night-time temperatures favour the finesse and character of this wine. This diversity gives rise to an exceptional terroir for wines with a strong personality.
