It is an elegant Pinot Noir produced with grapes picked from low-yielding bush vines, alike those Sophie harvested many years ago.
19th century Languedoc, most of the work done in the vineyards was undertaken by women. Nevertheless, female workers were often underpaid and mistreated. Local legend speaks of a woman who stood up and challenged this exploitation; Sophie Valrose. Inspired by her story, bijou is a tribute to her memory.

Regional Information
Sourced from higher-altitude vineyards in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, around the town of Limoux, this Pinot Noir grows in one of the most distinctive cool-climate areas of the Languedoc. The vineyards sit in the foothills of the Pyrenees, where four climatic influences (Atlantic, Mediterranean, Autan and Pyrenean) converge to create ideal conditions for slow, balanced ripening. The combination of warm, sunny days and cool nights results in wines of exceptional freshness and purity.

Vinification Details
The Pinot Noir grapes were hand-picked during the early hours of the morning in late August to early September, when temperatures are at their coolest. This careful timing helps preserve the grapes' natural acidity, delicate aromatics, and bright fruit character. Grapes were transported quickly to the cellar in small, ventilated crates to prevent oxidation and preserve quality.
