"This gourmet white wine combines the richness of the South with the mineral freshness of L'Escalette."

A blend of Carignan Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, and Terret Bourret, Les Clapas Blanc offers a subtle, briny palate. Complex, it is marked by the minerality and finesse that so perfectly characterize the estate’s wines. A white wine that walks a fine line, where purity and freshness take center stage.

Rated estate (2027 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Julien Zernott and Delphine Rousseau acquired this vineyard in 2002; it is situated on terraces surrounded by dry-stone walls. Perched at an altitude of 350 meters across some twenty hectares at the foot of the Larzac Plateau, the vines are cultivated organically, bathed in a cool, windy microclimate, and benefit from the terroir of limestone scree from the Causse and the area’s rich biodiversity. The common thread here is freshness, made possible by the vineyard’s altitude; it is evident in every wine, without exception, making this estate stand out among the Larzac terraces by striking the perfect balance between freshness and structure. This estate is a sure bet and a must-visit; we have no regrets about the third star it was recently awarded and see constant improvements even in its entry-level wines.

About the estate:

The Domaine du Pas de l’Escalette has 20 hectares of biodynamic vineyards, planted on terraces featuring dry-stone walls known as “clapas.” It is perched at an elevation of 350 meters in the foothills of the Larzac. Julien Zernott and Delphine Rousseau settled there in 2003. Drawing on the rich biodiversity of the surrounding area and using only organic products, they cultivate the vineyard using methods that respect nature.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100

Rated estate (2027 guide): 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the wine:

The white Clapas, a perfect reflection of the vintage, still displays that beautiful chalky aroma, with a soft and delicate palate.

About the estate:

Delphine and Julien Zernott started from scratch in 2003 on a plot located in the far northwest of the Terrasses du Larzac, in the cool climate region of Pégairolles-de-l'Escalette. Twenty-three vintages later, the couple has elevated their wine portfolio to the highest level. Their vineyard consists of some fifty terraces on limestone scree, with a high proportion of very old vines. For several years now, the wines they produce have been at the very top of their game, expressing themselves with grace, appeal, and complexity. They are very close to earning that third star.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 91/100

About the wine:

Pale lemon in color, it’s fairly understated on the nose but opens up on the palate with notes of lemon—quite lively and crystalline. It doesn’t linger long on the palate (which is its only weakness), but it’s well-structured on the finish with a hint of phenolic notes. Very easy to pair, I recommend it with raw or cooked fish and shellfish, or even pan-seared scallops. A white wine with a lovely mineral character, both light and structured. Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2032.
