A tribute to Mother Earth

Soil

Limestone and gravelly soils.

Site

The Pinot Noir is sourced from vineyards surrounding the town of Limoux, at an average altitude of around 300 metres, where oceanic and Mediterranean influences converge alongside a strong Pyrenean influence. Good airflow and pronounced diurnal temperature variation help extend the ripening period allowing the Pinot Noir to develop fully while maintaining acidity and aromatic purity.

Vinification

The Pinot Noir is harvested at optimal maturity, de-stemmed and gently handled to preserve fruit purity and avoid excessive extraction. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with careful cap management to favour finesse and aromatic clarity. A controlled maturation period refines tannin texture while maintaining freshness and balance.

Tasting Notes

Bright cherry-red in colour, with aromas of ripe red fruit and kirsch. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with lively acidity, pure fruit expression and a smooth, silky texture showing clear varietal typicity.

Food Pairings

Well suited to roasted poultry, salmon, lamb with vegetables, mushroom-based dishes, as well as charcuterie, pâté or terrine and cheese.

VINTAGE

The 2025 vintage around Limoux was shaped by intense summer heat that accelerated ripening, advancing harvest dates by nearly a week. Careful timing was essential to avoid excessive sugar levels and protect natural acidity, particularly for Pinot Noir. Cooler nights and the inland influence helped preserve balance, resulting in wines with pure red fruit, fresh acidity and fine, supple tannins, combining concentration with elegance and restraint.

TERRE DE PROVIDENCE

The name “Terre de Providence” makes reference to nature’s care and protection of the Earth or ‘Terre’. Without this ‘providence’, the terroir would not be how it is today.
