For the Vin de Pays d’Oc, we sourced grapes all around the Herault. Vineyards are located in the foothills of the Massif Central near Pezenas and Beziers and Narbonne. For the Vin de Pays Ile de Beaute, the grapes come from all around Corsica, mostly from hillside vineyards as the island is very mountainous. The relatively high altitude of the vineyards provides the temperate conditions necessary for aroma and color development. In both appellations, the warm Mediterranean climate allows for fruit-forward flavor, smooth tannins on the palate and a long, persistent finish.

| A delicious wine that marries extremely well with white meats such as chicken, veal, pork and fresh salads. |
| Producer |
| Good friends Tierry (renowned French winemaker) and Guy (British wine industry rebel) created FAT bastard almost by accident. It started out as an experiment Thierry had going in the back of his cellar, leaving a barrel ”on the lees” (yeast cells). He didn”t know what to expect, but when he and Guy tried the wine, Thierry exclaimed, with a strong French accent, ”Now zat iz what you call eh Phet bast-ard!” This very British expression perfectly described the wine”s wonderful color and round, rich palate, so that”s what they named it. In 1991, Veronique Torcolacci obtained her degree in oenology from the University of Toulouse. She joined Gabriel Meffre as oenologist in charge of quality before becoming head winemaker. |
