{"product_id":"vin-de-pays-doc-louis-fabre-2002","title":"Vin de Pays d'Oc Louis Fabre 2002","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 2002 red wine is produced by Louis Fabre and is estate-bottled in southern France. It is a varietal wine made from Merlot, a classic dark-skinned grape variety that is frequently cultivated in prominent wine regions such as Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Northern Italy. The wine holds the Vin de Pays classification and carries an alcohol content of 13%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, which stretches along the Mediterranean coast from Nîmes and Montpellier in the east to Perpignan and the Pyrenees in the southwest. This expansive area is one of France's largest and most diverse wine regions, featuring a varied landscape of coastal vineyards, warm plains, cooler mountain slopes, and limestone ridges. The local climate is sunny, warm, and dry, often shaped by strong winds that help maintain healthy vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore specifically, the wine is classified under the Pays d'Oc appellation, an area established in 1987 that covers the entire Languedoc-Roussillon region. Producing over six million hectoliters annually, it is the dominant IGP in France. The vineyards benefit from a distinct Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers, mild winters, and more than 300 days of sunshine each year. These conditions are moderated by sea breezes from the Mediterranean and the dry, northwesterly Tramontane wind. The soils in the Pays d'Oc are remarkably varied, ranging from coastal alluvial deposits to limestone, clay, schist, granite, and volcanic rocks. This classification allows for a wide selection of grape varieties and has established the area as a significant source of varietal-labeled wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Fabre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57670741393734,"sku":null,"price":75.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1691_863004d9-ae02-454f-a555-5ce7af249eac.jpg?v=1792585189","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/vin-de-pays-doc-louis-fabre-2002","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
