Panorama VdF Rouge

Les Hautes Terres farms in the foothills of the Pyrénées at altitudes approaching 400 meters, where cool nights and dramatic diurnal swings produce wines of uncommon freshness for the south of France. The 2024 Panorama Rouge is a Vin de France — a designation that, in the right hands, signals freedom rather than compromise — blending Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan from old-vine parcels farmed without synthetic inputs. It’s a wine of genuine mountain character: dark cherry, garrigue, crushed black olive, and a peppery lift on the finish that keeps every sip feeling alive. The medium body and bright acidity make it more versatile at the table than its southern origins might suggest. Serve it slightly chilled and let it run.
