🌍

Terroir

The vineyards are located in Assignan, a quaint village in the Hérault department. Situated at an altitude of 270 meters, the vines benefit from a unique microclimate influenced by both the Tramontane winds and proximity to the sea. The soil is predominantly clay-limestone, providing excellent drainage and contributing to the mineral complexity of the wine.

Winemaking Process

Pierre Regnault employs natural winemaking techniques with a focus on minimal intervention. The Carignan grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal quality. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, preserving the authentic expression of the terroir. The wine is aged in neutral vessels to maintain its fresh and fruity character. No oenological additives or sulfites are used during vinification, resulting in a pure and unadulterated wine.
