In 1997 childhood friends Jean-Luc Terrier and Christian Collovray purchased Domaine Altugnac, which lies at the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Languedoc. The Mediterranean climate with mountain influences create swings in temperatures that are mitigated by planting the grapes on steep slopes. This is a fantastic, aromatic, mid-weight Pinot Noir with a ton of personality. Practicing Organic.
