About the Wine: Cold soak before fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with gentle punch downs during fermentation, to gently extract vivid colors and delicate aromas. Aged in neutral French oak and composed of fruit from 50 year old vines. The history of Vin de Pays d’Oc wines can be traced back to the 5th century when the Greeks planted the first vineyards near Narbonne. Along with parts of Provence, these are considered to be France’s oldest vineyards. A rich and natural combination of steep slopes and hilly peaks with vineyards, and “garrigue” vegetation and a proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. The vineyards benefit from long hours of sun, concentrating the aromas, and dry cool breezes to maintain freshness in the grapes.

About the Producer: Founded in 2015 by Carrie and Philippe Marchal, who both worked in the wine business in New York City before moving to a tiny village in the middle of the farmlands and vineyards of France with their two daughters, Lucienne and Emilie. (Lulumi is a combination of the French nicknames for the girls, Lulu and Mimi). Located in Southern France, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees, the vineyards of the Pays d'Oc thrive in the warm sun and cool breezes. The hillside vineyards with long summer days are the perfect place to grow Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
