The rolling hills of Vias along the Mediterranean coast is the perfect place to grow special, meaningful Pinot Noir that doesn’t break the bank. For one, the coastal breezes as we’ve seen time and again are essential for building beautiful natural acidity. But then there’s also the rocky volcanic soil that Comtesse Marion is treated to in the Languedoc. That gives the wine a depth of flavors and great concentration but without too much weight. The vines are also all over 30 years in age, an advantage over their peers for sure.
But even with the most ideal of conditions, you still need great winemakers to make great wines. That’s the Vic family to a tee. They’re fifth generation wine growers who know this land so incredibly well yet still walk the vineyards with such care and attention to detail.
