It was in the early 1960s that the Pyrenees region became recognised for its potential, by virtue of a unique combination of deep gravely soils and cool climate conditions. Blue Pyrenees Estate is the coolest site within the Pyrenees region, with a diversity of microclimes enabling each clone to be planted in the best situation. Established 1963 as Château Remy by the Champagne houses of Heidsieck and Krug, the Blue Pyrenees style has evolved into a unique wine that captures the perfect balance between new world technology and old world tradition. Following considerable development and experimentation, the inaugural release was in 1982, the rest as they say is history.
