"Superb balance in this vibrant cuvée, 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 well-defined, with superb precision. Elegant and balanced, this wine displays a lovely liveliness, ending with a long, mineral finish that is deliciously briny.

Wine rated (2027 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
The 2024 white is still in its early stages: it has lovely fruit intensity and minerality.
About the estate:
After learning the trade from leading winemakers in the region—most notably Olivier Jullien—Géraldine Laval established her estate 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 lineup.
