"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 offers notes of white peach and acacia blossom, subtly enhanced by hints of anise. The palate is finely crafted, with superb precision. Elegant and well-balanced, this wine displays a lovely liveliness, ending with a long, mineral finish that is deliciously briny.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 91/100 (2023 vintage)
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 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 range of wines.
