Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

The perfect choice for anyone who wants to discover fine Languedoc wines that remain true to their terroir. Jérôme Joseph and Laurent Calmel are wine merchants without their own cellars. They age the selected vintages at the winemakers’ estates from whom they purchase them, respecting the original flavors and terroirs. A wide, delightful selection featuring many excellent wines and a few stunning surprises.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 17/20

Rated "Recommended"

About the wine:

An interesting autumnal nose with plenty of tobacco leaf on the palate. Slightly smoky, the fruit is subtle, as if it had been steeped and lightly poached in tea. Red plums, wild redcurrants, rosemary. Sweet, earthy spices. A subtle, restrained, and harmonious wine that echoes the earth’s character; it seems to hold back rather than rush at you. It would be magnificent with duck.
