Product Description
Description
Why do we call our wines “Le Grand Noir”? Our black sheep logo gives one clue - we are rather unconventional wine makers. The original Grand Noir - “Big Black” was a priest of the Cathar religion, in the region of Carcassonne. The Cathars were heretics - a breakaway group from the Catholic Church of the day, who has some very unconventional views. This GSM (Grenache-Shiraz-Mourvedre) blend offers intense aromas of spicy blackberry, dark plum, licorice, cocoa, and spice. On the palate, it is rich and complex with soft tannins.
