Where it comes from

Domaine Pignier cultivates its vineyards on the picturesque slopes of Montaigu, where the hills impart a deep intensity of flavour to the grapes.

The connection with the hilly landscape is clearly evident in the glass, offering an authentic and harmonious expression of the terroir of origin.
How it is produced

Domaine Pignier adopts the ouillé vinification technique, which involves keeping the containers always full to avoid oxidation and preserve the purity of the fruit. Ageing continues for twelve months in oak barrels, within a historic cellar dating back seven centuries. The passage in wood smooths the structure without overpowering the natural characteristics of the grape variety, ensuring balanced development and remarkable longevity.
