Luc Pirlet
Starting in 1996, the family estate and winery Luc Pirlet has managed to become one of the leaders in the market of first class wine varieties from Languedoc. Luc Pirlet wines are produced from grapes grown in vineyards lying between Narbonne and Limoux on the road to the Pyrenees mountains. Different plots of the same grape variety offer different soils and microclimates enabling them to weave a rich tapestry of nuances, aromas and flowers into the wines. Certain vineyards are typically Mediterranean and yield wines of depth and generosity; others lying at higher elevations and exposed to the Atlantic winds give intensity, elegance and finesse.
