Grape: Pinot Noir I am from: Limoux, Languedoc, France The Story: Roughly 50 miles south of the old walled town of Carcassonne are the vineyards of Closerie des Lys. They grow deep in the foothills of the Pyrenees, on the sides of two mountains, flanking a little hollow anchored by the village of Antugnac.

In your mouth: My electric fruit fills your mouth

Good for: Lounging on a sun-drenched patio on a late summer afternoon

Winemaker Michael Silacci handled this pristine fruit with surgical precision—giving it 21 days of skin contact to extract deep color and structural nuance before cradling the wine through a patient 18 months of aging in 100% new French oak barrels
