So Vignoble Vellas created the Grand Mechant Loup "The Big Bad Wolf" for the red wine and Chaperon Rouge "The Red Riding Hood" for the rose wine. It also refers to the Pic Saint Loup land "Garrigue" (Mediterranean aromatic herbs and olive trees), which participate to the "wild" personality of the wines. Intense colour with purple hues, its aromatic nose evokes red fruits with a final on grilled notes and cocoa. Deep density during the tasting, velvet recalls the silk.

Vineyard Info

VIGNOBLES VELLAS is a family story that began 4 generations ago in the heart of the Languedoc appellations. The main family property, the Mas du Pont Estate, the center of our activities, is a place of culture and traditions, around the vineyard, wine, gastronomy and our bull ranch. It is located in the town of Teyran and Crès, near Montpellier, between Pic Saint Loup and the Mediterranean Sea.

Our family has maintained a fusional relationship between our various agricultural trades – with over 1000 hectares of cereals, pasture and olive groves, a ranch of 500 bulls and horses from the Camargue – and our vineyards with a surface of 120 hectares. The name of the cuvee "Grand Mechant Loup" is a word play: "loup" means "wolf" in French. Pic Saint Loup is the name of the wine appellation and it comes from the eponym mountain which dominates the terroir and influences the climate. So Vignoble Vellas created the Grand Mechant Loup "The Big Bad Wolf" for the red wine and Chaperon Rouge "The Red Riding Hood" for the rose wine. It also refers to the Pic Saint Loup land "Garrigue" terroir (Mediterranean aromatic herbs and olive trees), which participate to the "wild" personality of the wines.
