91/100
RVF
"Made from an ancient and forgotten grape variety called Gibi, this white wine will surprise you with its richness, delicacy, and tanginess."
"Gibi is an ancient grape variety rediscovered among the fabulous plant heritage of Vivien Roussignol's grandfather. Blended here with white and grey Grenache, it offers notes of citrus and thyme and a full-bodied palate that finishes with a mouth-watering impression."

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
This new venture is run by two agricultural engineers, including a former director of a Fitou winery who took over the family vineyards after they left the cooperative. After a generous 2016 and a highly successful 2017, we noticed the high quality of the 2018 vintage, a benchmark wine for schist terroirs. With the 2019 vintage continuing this impressive momentum, we are happy to award them a third star.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 stars (Outstanding wine)
About the estate:
Vivien Roussignol and Marie Toussaint settled here in 2011 with just one hectare of goblet-pruned vines grown on schist slopes. They gradually expanded the vineyard, favoring old vines and preserving a rich heritage of grape varieties (around twenty today). The 12 hectares have been in conversion to organic farming since 2019.
