Louis Max Pinot Noir "Haute Vallee"

CLIMATS LOUIS MAX

The term “Climat,” used in Burgundy, defines a parcel of vineyard with a unique terroir. Climats represent the excellence of the great wines of France. Maison Louis Max produces great wines since 1859. Over time we have extended our expertise and domaines to the South of France. This has been instrumental in helping us to seek out unique terroirs, where it it is possible to grow and vinify high quality Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.

HAUTE VALLEE

In our Haute Vallée climat, the vines rise to up to 400m in altitude. Sunlight is plentiful, but the wind and the altitude help to maintain freshness in the wines. Here it is the ideal exposure to the sun that makes all the difference! This allows the vines to mature perfectly, giving concentrated, fragrant wines. Oak maturation adds a touch of breadth and depth to the Haute Vallée wines.
