Azur Wines is named for azur — the French word for the specific blue of a Mediterranean sky, the kind of open, clear, light-filled blue that appears above the Languedoc and Provence in summer, above lavender fields and limestone garrigue. It is a color that implies openness, clarity, and the particular quality of Southern French light.
Applied to wine, the name declares wines of similar character: open, clear, light-filled rather than dense and occluded. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that achieve the azur quality — wines you can see through, metaphorically, wines whose terroir character is legible rather than obscured.
The Napa Valley and Carneros estate produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the appellation's more maritime-influenced sites, where the clarity the azur name declares is most naturally achievable. Wine Advocate has scored Azur's wines at 90–93 points.
