“Superb balance in this vibrant wine, which displays rare elegance”
Grown and vinified using organic methods, with respect for nature, this lovely Clos Maïa white wine offers notes of white peach and acacia blossom, subtly enhanced by hints of anise. The palate is refined, with superb precision. Elegant and balanced, this wine displays a lovely liveliness, finishing with a long, mineral-driven, deliciously briny finish.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 91/100 (2023 vintage)
Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
After learning the trade from leading winemakers in the region, notably Olivier Jullien, Géraldine Laval established herself in 2009 on high-altitude plots in the Terrasses du Larzac, in the Poujols and Lauroux area, in the far northwest of the appellation. This small 6-hectare estate benefits from a vineyard layout composed of mature vines. A talented and passionate winemaker, Géraldine Laval expresses the purity, tension, and integrity of her terroirs with precision and sensitivity. The estate handled the 2021 vintage well and presents a very well-balanced range.
