Mas La Chevaliere P. Noir - Dom. Laroche

“La Chevalière,” or “the knight’s lady,” is a reference to “Mas la Chevalière” which is literally the “farmhouse of the knight’s lady,” the Laroche property in Southern France. Although the farm is historic, the winery is an ultra-modern, temperature-controlled facility designed by Michael Laroche.

Mas la Chevalière is considered a reference point in the region for the quality of its winery equipment, which allows for the precise expression of each grape variety and vineyard parcel.

The Mas la Chevaliere Pinot Noir grapes come from the winery’s vineyard partners in two distinct regions of the Languedoc: the Cevennes foothills in the Northern Gard region, and Limoux, in the western Languedoc. Coming from cooler terroirs, this is a Pinot Noir with hints of ripe red cherry and finely grained tannins.

Bright ruby color. The nose has a sensation of black fruit, and fleshy, ripe cherries with a hint of spice. Very well-balanced on the palate, delicate with very soft tannins.
