Unit price: per

Located at a place called Serre Basse, Chateau Guery's plot of Pinot is one of the few on their property to be oriented North-South on a hillside of clay and sandstone. In the cellar, there is a great careful requirement to preserve the fruit, the freshness and sweetness of the tannins, allowing them to collect the best of Pinot Noir: cherry, red fruits, cocoa beans, mocha... The elegance and finesse characterize the cuvee 'Eternite'.

Chateau Guery

We thought we could not bring more wines from this part of the Languedoc until we found this - the Petit Verdot. The grape, although originating from the South West, was also used in Bordeaux to bring some spice to the wines. Since it tended to mature too late it has now been discarded by many Chateaux, but here in this warmer part of France there is no problem!

Region and Appellation Information

Region – Languedoc

The Languedoc, though often referred to loosely as a single entity, is not a wine appellation in its own right but a broad Mediterranean region encompassing a wealth of individual appellations. Traditionally, labels carried the specific titles of Languedoc AOC and its numerous sub-regions, from Corbières and Minervois to Pic Saint-Loup and Faugères. Since January 2016, the historic Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrénées regions have been administratively merged into Occitanie, France's newest region. Stretching along the coast from the Rhône towards the Spanish border, the Languedoc is one of France's largest and most diverse wine-producing areas.

Appellation – Pays d'Oc

Pays d'Oc is one of the largest wine regions in France and the world, covering much of southern France and overlapping the Languedoc-Roussillon. It is not an AOP but an IGP, spanning four departments - the Aude, Gard, Hérault, and Pyrénées-Orientales - with a few communes in Lozère. As one of the sunniest wine regions on the continent, with diverse microclimates and relatively relaxed regulations, it allows growers to work with virtually any grape and to produce still, sweet, and sparkling wines in every colour. Home to some 200 cooperatives and 1,200 independent producers, it accounts for 60% of France's IGP-level wine - around 760 million bottles a year - and, with quality better than ever, rewards those seeking out its many gems.
