CHERCHE MIDI LANGUEDOC-ROUSSILLON, FRANCE
The Cherche Midi wines are blended exclusively for Paris Wine Company by Benjamin Beguin and Aurore de Fleurieu of Château de Montfrin from organically-farmed, estate vineyards in Montfrin, located at the border between the Rhône Valley and the Languedoc. The wines are crafted to be enjoyable, easy to drink straight away, and to offer great value for organic wine from the south of France. The vineyards were originally planted by Aurore’s father, Jean-René de Fleurieu. Jean-René is also a filmmaker and co-founded the well-known Paris fashion brand, Agnes B. He also has a wooly mammoth skeleton in his tank room. Jean-René grew up in Montfrin, and in 1993, he decided to plant 250 acres of olive trees and 250 acres of vines in order to create local jobs and make delicious and affordable wines that have always been produced organically.
