Chateau Coujan is a fifth-generation family winery located near Saint Chinian in the South of France which came to us through our fellow Saint Chinian producer, Jean-Marie Rimbert.

The name of this cuvée is a play on words: lapinot means young rabbit in French, a fitting name for this joyful and thirst-quenching incarnation of 100% Pinot Noir.

The soil make up is clay and limestone with pebbles, with vines planted in 1990. Estate-owned and farmed organically by Florence and her team. The grapes are destemmed and crushed. Short maceration and spontaneous fermentation at controlled temperature in concrete tanks. Bottled in the following spring, lightly filtered with a small addition of sulfur. This is a juicy, light and easy-going take on Pinot Noir.
