Albert Bichot USA partnered with Maison Lorgeril, as part of its importer portfolio. In September, the group launched with Maison Lorgeril, a historic Languedoc producer, dating back four centuries, owning six separate estates and producing wine from nine Protected Designation of Origins (PDO), which include Languedoc, Cabardès, Minervois, Minervois La Livinière, Saint-Chinian, Faugères, Côtes-du-Roussillon, Côtes-du-Roussillon Villages and Maury. The Lorgeril family is one of the oldest wine making families in France, whose history dates back to the building of the majestic Château de Pennautier in 1620, and today includes five additional vineyards across high-altitude, complex terroirs. Along with their partner wineries, L’Orangeraie, La Galine, 1620, La Rosée D’Été and Ô de Rosé, N&M de Lorgeril estates produces a variety of elegant red, white and rosé wines.
