Rated estate (2026 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 benefiting from this 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 cuvée, without exception, making this an exceptional estate among the Larzac terraces that strikes 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 recently awarded to it and see constant improvements even in the entry-level wines.

About the estate:
Located northwest of the Terrasses du Larzac, in the beautiful region of Pégairolles de l'Escale and Lauroux, this 20-hectare estate is owned by Julien and Delphine Zernott, who have been based here since 2003. The vineyard consists of about fifty terraces on limestone scree, with a high proportion of very old vines. This terroir is in good hands with this talented and determined couple. While the whites continue to demonstrate their great elegance, the entire range of reds presented this year is of the highest caliber—graceful, with exemplary management of texture and aging.
