  • One doesn't have to go too far back in history to find a time when southern France was much more insular, with its own distinct identity and a proudly independent culture. With the construction of railroads and highways, the wider world experienced the rich wine traditions that had grown from the diverse soil types and microclimates.
  • Louis Max references this attribute with their 2021 'Climats' Pinot Noir, a wine defined by restrained black cherry notes and light tannins that build gently in each successive sip.
  • Red snapper and halibut sushi will find a useful partner in this delightfully subtle red with an intentional sense of place.

Estate
The term "climat," used in Burgundy, defines a parcel of vineyard with a unique terroir. Climats represent the excellence of the great wines of France. Maison Louis Max has produced wines since 1859. Over time, we have extended our expertise and domaines to the South of France, which has been instrumental in seeking out unique terroirs to grow and vinify high-quality Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.

Region
In our Haute Vallee climat, the vines rise to 400m in altitude. Sunlight is plentiful, but the wind and the altitude help maintain freshness in the wines. Here, it is the ideal exposure to the sun that makes all the difference! This allows the vines to mature perfectly, giving concentrated, fragrant wines. Oak maturation adds a touch of breadth and depth to the Haute Vallee wines.

Grape Variety
100% Pinot Noir

Winemaking
Traditional winemaking with partial maturation in oak barrels.
