Why do we call our wines “Le Grand Noir”? Our black sheep logo gives one clue - we are rather unconventional wine makers. The original Grand Noir - “Big Black” was a priest of the Cathar religion, in the region of Carcassonne. The Cathars were heretics - a breakaway group from the Catholic Church of the day, who has some very unconventional views.

This GSM (Grenache-Shiraz-Mourvedre) blend offers intense aromas of spicy blackberry, dark plum, licorice, cocoa, and spice. On the palate, it is rich and complex with soft tannins.

    Easy drinking wine

    Easy drinking wine. typical GSM...flowery nose but the palate is a bit too light and spicy...was hoping for more complexity but no. Quite lengthy. Overall, still a simple enjoyable wine.

    Good

    Really nice with finger food, not too siap, fruity and smells like blackberry and pepper. Easy to drink on its own too
