"An outstanding personality!"
"The brilliance of the Roussanne, with its infused notes of orange blossom, orange peel, zest and chamomile, is of exceptional personality, with delicate bitters on the finish." (Le Guide RVF 2026). Produced in less than 3,000 units, this Gem du Languedoc easily rises to the level of the great whites of Burgundy or the Northern Rhône. A rarity not to be overlooked!

The brightness of the Roussanne, with its infused notes of orange blossom, orange peel, zest and chamomile, has an exceptional personality and a delicate bitterness on the finish.
About the domain :
In 30 years, the estate founded by Basile and Caroline Saint-Germain has become a standard-bearer for the Languedoc revival and a powerhouse for Pézenas. At the end of 2022, the estate was bought by Bordeaux entrepreneur Matthieu Gufflet, owner of Château de Callac in the Graves, Château Guiraud in Sauternes and Château des Bachelards in Fleurie. Two years later, Basile Saint-Germain handed over the reins to Sandrine Garbay, director of the Gufflet estates, who continued the collaboration with oenologist Margarethe Chapelle. The 8.5 hectares of vines, managed biodynamically without certification, are planted on Quaternary terraces, covered with rolled pebbles and a few basalt flows from the Auvergne volcanoes. The grapes are then vinified in a bioclimatic cellar, whose energy resilience encourages ageing. The harvest, subjected to drastic sorting and 4-5 years of ageing, gives birth to a short range of rare purity.
