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.

Very disappointed with this wine, despite the praise from various critics. It’s thin and rather lacking in body. Disappointed! Disappointed!!

A clean nose of violets and red fruit. Well-balanced. It’s delicate and complex. A fine wine, in my opinion.

Review by Mr. JEAN FRANCOIS B. Published on June 11, 2013
I'm very disappointed with this vintage. The nose is nonexistent even after extensive aeration; the fruit is almost nonexistent, but the alcohol is very noticeable. In short, a huge disappointment.
