Producer
LGI was founded in 1999 by Alain Grignon. He had formerly been head of cooperatives in Gascogny and was frustrated by many aspects of the domestic French wine industry, so with his partners, he set up a business to cater solely to export markets. As well as running a team of winemakers and viticulturists sourcing fruit in the Languedoc, predominantly in St Chinian and the Côtes de Gascogne, they are also involved with a selection of top class individual domaines. The company is now one of the most respected sources of high quality and reliable wines from the region.
Winemaking
Machine harvested. Fermented over 6 days in stainless steel using cultured yeasts at 25C, with pump overs 3 times daily. Matured for 2 months in vat before bentonite fining.
Tasting Note
Ruby coloured with hints of spice and red berry on the nose.Well rounded and balanced, with gentle tannins.
Food Matching
Very versatile, it is at its best with chicken and lamb dishes.
