The name of the cuvee "Grand Mechant Loup" is a word play: "loup" means "wolf" in French. Pic Saint Loup is the name of the wine appellation and it comes from the eponym mountain which dominates the terroir and influences the climate. So Vignoble Vellas created the Grand Mechant Loup "The Big Bad Wolf" for the red wine and Chaperon Rouge "The Red Riding Hood" for the rose wine. It also refers to the Pic Saint Loup land "Garrigue" (Mediterranean aromatic herbs and olive trees), which participate to the "wild" personality of the wines. Intense colour with purple hues, its aromatic nose evokes red fruits with a final on grilled notes and cocoa. Deep density during the tasting, velvet recalls silk. Well integrated tannins provide a long and harmonious persistence.

    Great Red

    This was a steal a year ago, but the price went up a lot. Still one of the best reds I had at wine connection and we had plenty ;-).

    It's balanced and powerful. Either drink it alone or with food that can withstand the firework.

    Lovely 14% red that’s deceptively smooth

    Easy on the palette, gentle on the tannins. Packs a punch you won’t feel till it’s too late. A perfect pairing for red meats, chocolate, & dinner dates. Highly recommended.
