“The Cyrano of the Minervois—all prose and charm!”
“This white wine blends three forgotten local grape varieties: white Ribeyrenc, gray Ribeyrenc, and white Araignan. The aroma profile is centered on herbal infusions—lemon balm, verbena, and linden. The palate is full-bodied, and the finish lingers with a refreshing freshness and notes of ginger and mint.” (La Revue du Vin de France)

About the wine:
This white wine blends three forgotten local grape varieties: white Ribeyrenc, gray Ribeyrenc, and white Araignan. The aroma profile focuses on herbal infusions—lemon balm, verbena, and linden. The palate is full-bodied, and the finish is long and refreshing, with notes of ginger and mint.
About the estate:
This unique estate, located in the picturesque setting of the Siran plateau, is run by Cécile Boyer-Domergue, who is always assisted by her mother, Patricia. Their wines are the result of work carried out with exemplary integrity, focused on cultivating rare or forgotten grape varieties. The fruit on the nose always has a slightly candied character, while on the palate the wines display rare elegance and great finesse of texture, particularly the pure Cinsaults. The top vintages are sold only when they reach their peak. The estate produces a lovely dry white made from forgotten varieties—Araignan Blanc, Riveyrenc Blanc, and Riveyrenc Gris—as well as a passeri-style wine, Erme, in the spirit of the “noble wines” once produced in the Minervois. We must commend the uniqueness and strength of this approach—both winemaking and commemorative—which serves as a vital point of reference, not only for the Minervois but for the entire Languedoc region.
