About the estate:
As a consulting winemaker, Sophie Guiraudon couldn’t resist the call of the vineyard. With no family history in the business, she settled in 2000 south of Alaric, in a renovated sheep barn. It’s a small plot—just enough (12 ha) to grow, vinify, age, and sell her wine all on her own. Certified organic.

About the estate:
Acquired in 2000 by Sophie Guiraudon, this estate then consisted of 4 hectares of old vines at high elevation, situated on a cool terroir in the town of Ribaute. Today, this trained oenologist cultivates 11 hectares using organic and biodynamic methods and is working to restore biodiversity, notably by replanting trees around the vineyard plots. Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Carignan express their pure character, thanks to a diverse geology dominated by clay-limestone with varying degrees of gravel and stones. This winemaker, who built this wonderful project from the ground up, vinifies without oak, focusing on purity.

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on November 20, 2023
Setting itself apart from the appellation’s typical full-bodied style, this Corbières showcases not only the elegance of Carignan but also the intensity of its well-defined fruit aromas—prune, black cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant—accompanied by subtle spices and notes of garrigue, licorice, and leather... This whirlwind of flavors is reflected in a full-bodied, complex, and supple palate built around medium-bodied, well-integrated tannins that already display a lovely silkiness and a rich, juicy texture, lingering all the way to the finish with brilliant fruit. Suitable for medium-term aging of about five years. Rated 4.1 for excellent value for money—not to mention the sheer pleasure it brings. This compelling cuvée is incredibly appetizing and perfect for sharing with friends alongside herb-crusted Cabardès lamb chops and a Languedoc-style eggplant gratin.
