ABOUT THIS WINE:

Chanmé Méchant

Chanmé Méchant

Cinsault–Grenache Rosé

Our Double Gold Medal-winning Chanmè Méchant Rosé is crafted in a Provençal style, using a blend of the grape varieties Cinsault and Grenache. However, this wine leans darker in color and fruitier in flavor than the dry, delicate rosés of Provence, and features floral aromas and ripe red and stone fruit notes. Our rosé comes from the Pays d’Oc region in the south of France, separated from Provence by the Golfe du Lion. While strict stylistic expectations rule over winemakers in Provence, the Pays d’Oc offers a breath of fresh air to those wanting to explore new takes on tradition. This diverse region’s warm, sunny climate, drying winds, little rainfall and numerous soil types make it ideal for winegrowing. Winemakers here embrace both New and Old World styles, resulting in exciting wines like this rosé, which will leave you questioning what you thought you knew about French wine. S ...

WINE REGION:

Outline of Pays d'Oc IGP

Pays d'Oc IGP

If you've vacationed in the south of France, you've probably visited the Pays d'Oc region. Embracing the Mediterranean from Spain to Provence, this region is famed as much for its Grenache, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as its endless sunshine. Pays d'Oc covers non-AOC wines made across this large, sun-kissed region, known as France's "New World." Far from the regulations of the AOC system, pioneering winemakers headed here to experiment, crafting many now-famous wines that often state their grape variety on the label—not something that was common in France before then. IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) within France’s wine classification system focuses on controlling regional and geographical origin. The category is less restrictive than the AOC classification and gives winemakers more freedom with style and taste profile when creating wines.

TASTING NOTES:

Strawberry

Melon

Cherry

Outgoing aromas of wild strawberry and rose petal delight the nose above the glass. The palate is lightly sweet with a smooth sensation created by modest acidity. Plump red cherry flavors join yellow peach and melon for wine that proves French rosé can be both fruity and elegant.

ABOUT THE BRAND:

Chanmé Méchant

The French take their food and wine very seriously, but that does not mean they don't enjoy a bit of fun. Chanmé Méchant is a playful French "verlan"—a word that flips its sound to create a phrase that captures opposites. Chanmé, meaning enjoyable, and Méchant, meaning wicked, come together to form a fitting name for these informal French wines, which are, in fact, "Wicked Good."
