(2016 vintage notes)

The Soif de Loup cuvée is a supple and fruity red wine, full of subtlety and finesse—a real thirst-quencher! It reveals a violet nose with peppery and mineral nuances and a tender and invigorating palate, making it the ideal companion for moments of conviviality and casual dining.

Wine rating (2018 guide) 15/20 (2016 vintage) (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

This beautiful estate comprises 18 hectares of vineyards spread across small plots located in Bize, in the Minervois des Causses region, the foothills of the Montagne Noire, and at the northeastern edge of the appellation. It is an estate that is truly on the rise. The winemaking process is moving towards gentler and less aggressive extraction, resulting in wines with greater fruit precision and freshness balance. This makes them enjoyable to drink, delicious and pleasant, while retaining the estate's trademark tension and vitality. In addition to these Minervois wines, there is a range of particularly well-made IGP Aude wines, with names that obviously relate to the estate.

Rated estate (2021 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About the estate:

Established in 2002 by four partners, all wine enthusiasts from Saumur, Le Loup Blanc offers Minervois wines blended from Languedoc grape varieties. Work in the vineyard focused immediately on organic and biodynamic agriculture. Each cuvée has its own distinct character: there are wines to be enjoyed for their fruitiness, but also fine cuvées for aging. The property has two comfortable and tastefully decorated cottages.
