Picture sun-kissed vineyards soaking up the warm rays of the sun and gentle Mediterranean sea breezes – this is the world of Vue Sur Mer, French for “sea view,” and a fitting name for these wines.
They come from the Pays d’Oc IGP, a highly acclaimed region in Southern France that stretches from the sparkling coast of the Mediterranean to the vast plains of the Camargue and the rugged highlands of Massif Central, famous for its mountains, plateaus, and volcanoes. This region encompasses such a diverse swath of land with a wide variety of soil types that gives winemakers astonishing flexibility in crafting wines of all styles.
Wines of the Pays d’Oc IGP do not aspire to be a high brow Bordeaux or an elusive Burgundy. Vue Sur Mer wines are approachable, relaxed, and simply enjoyable, whatever the occasion. They pair with almost any meal and are prime for sharing with friends or unwinding with a glass after a long day.
The brand offers a handful of varietals that beautifully capture the essence of the Pays d’Oc region. Choose from the crispy Sauvignon Blanc, the bright Unoaked Chardonnay, the elegant Pinot Noir, or the classic Cabernet Sauvignon. Each bottle is a pure, honest expression of the grape and the region’s unique terroir. No pretense, just quality in every glass.
Sauvignon Blanc
The Sauvignon Blanc is bright and lively with racy acidity and a strong minerality. On the palate, this wine delivers fresh citrusy notes of Meyer lemon and lemon zest with delicate, slightly floral aromas of honeysuckle and white flower. A hint of herbaceous bell pepper adds nuance and complexity to a wine that’s perfect with salads, seared fish, grilled chicken, or to be simply enjoyed on its own.
Unoaked Chardonnay
Thanks to the warm climate and long summers of the Pays d’Oc IGP, this Chardonnay ripens beautifully and develops notes of ripe peach, honeydew, lemon, pear, and a touch of pineapple, all rounded out by a soft minerality. Skipping oak maturation lets the wine’s vibrant fruit flavors shine through, making it wonderfully crisp and approachable. It’s the ideal wine for a seafood feast, movie night, book club meeting, or any time a tasty bottle of wine i needed.
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir. Wine lovers treasure it, winemakers admire how it showcases the terroir, and growers know how tricky it can be to cultivate. The grape’s thin, delicate skins make then vulnerable to sun, hail, and heavy rain, which is why Pinot Noirs often come with a higher price tag.
Every so often, though, a Pinot Noir comes along that hits all the right notes, and Vue Sur Mer does just that. It offers up a bright palate of juicy red fruits, such as red plum, black cherry, cranberry, and raspberry. Beneath that, subtle earthy undertones and a touch of tomato leaf add depth and complexity. This is an easy-to-pair wine that is perfect for holiday dinners or cozy nights in.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Most people imagine Cabernet Sauvignons as the bold, powerhouse wines from Napa Valley or the jammy styles of Paso Robles. This Cabernet Sauvignon takes a different path, staying true to the French style. It is elegant and balanced with ripe black fruit notes – black plum, cassis, and blackberry. These are complemented by classic Cabernet hints of bell pepper and graphite. This is a versatile wine that pairs well with grilled or roasted meats as well as hearty dishes.
