On what terroir is La Bergerie Domaine de l'Hortus Pic Saint Loup AOP 2024 produced?

The Pic Saint Loup AOP takes its name from the limestone relief that dominates this part of Languedoc-Roussillon, between the Pic Saint Loup and Hortus massifs. The altitude and exposure of this sector give it a cooler microclimate than the rest of the region, with marked temperature fluctuations between day and night. The soils, predominantly limestone and stony, combined with the influence of the surrounding garrigue, orient the style of the red wines towards a dense and aromatic substance, where Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre constitute the usual backbone of the vineyard allowed by the appellation.
