The Blanville family business is a true family business, producing top-quality terroir wines in the Languedoc region. It is the result of a dream and vision by the owner, who, together with his wife, built a magnificent wine estate. His vision is that the Languedoc terroirs should rival those of the more northerly Burgundy plots in terms of richness, diversity, and quality. The meticulous selection of the plots should elevate the Languedoc to a higher level and place it among the most renowned wine regions in France. With this in mind, the owners sought out the very best plots to build this estate into the absolute top-tier estate it is today.
They comprise four valleys. The Grés de Montpellier stretch east and west of Montpellier, bordered by the Hérault Valley to the west, the Pic Saint-Loup region to the north, the Vidourle Valley to the east, and the coast to the south. It is protected from northern influences by the Montagne Noire and the Cévennes. The climate is dry, and a refreshing sea breeze in summer allows the grapes to ripen perfectly.
The grapes are rigorously selected and then gently pressed to allow time for the process. Peace and love are the hallmarks of Château Haut Blanville's wines. This Grande Reserve Pinot Noir boasts beautiful notes of red flowers, soft red fruit, a touch of lavender, and violet. The palate is soft and rounded, with abundant fresh red fruit, a touch of spice, and a long finish. Delicious as an aperitif and excellent with red meat, cheese, and sushi.
