King Rabbit Pinot Noir
WHY WE LOVE IT
- The King Rabbit Organic Pinot Noir comes from a unique terroir in the south of France, at the foot of the Montagne Noire and facing the Pyrenees.
- Influenced by oceanic conditions to the west and Mediterranean to the east, at an altitude of 50 to 500 meters.
- Born on limestone and sandstone soils in Languedoc, this Pinot Noir reveals a rare aromatic richness, far from its Burgundian birthplace.
- Sourced from organic vineyards, this wine boasts excellent aging potential.
Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir
Elaboration: The harvest is mechanically harvested, followed by destemming and vatting. Grapes ferment at 25°C with minimal intervention, in accordance with organic standards. Regular pump-overs enhance aroma and tannin extraction. After pressing, malolactic fermentation adds suppleness. Finally, the wine is aged, blended, and bottled.
Tasting Notes: Ruby red with subtle garnet highlights. Aromas of red berries, cherry, strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrant. Bright and tangy, with great balance and freshness. Long and complex finish.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
King Rabbit sources its grapes from the IGP Pays d’Oc appellation in Languedoc-Roussillon, a hilly terroir where Mediterranean, continental, and Oceanic climates meet. Cinsault and Grenache from coastal, mineral-rich soils go into the Rosé, while Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and other varietals are grown further inland — all drawn from a network of independent, organically farmed vineyards.
The brand is produced by LGI Wines, a Languedoc-based producer founded in Carcassonne in 1999 that works with grower partners across the Languedoc and Gascony regions rather than a single family estate. A team of seven winemakers oversees the range, which now ships to markets across the US, UK, and Europe.
