MONTPEYROUX LES VENTS D’ICI
SHAPED BY THE ELEMENT
The name is derived from “Mont Pierreux” … (stony mountain), that is swept by the winds. At this last halt before the mountain, the garrigue is dense and fragrant. Already designated a quality terroir in 1958, it now aspires to recognition as a “cru communal”.
