Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Château La Négly is one of the Languedoc region's leading wines. Located in La Clape, on clay-limestone soil, this large 50-hectare estate also manages a garage wine, Clos des Truffiers, in Saint-Pargoire. It is owned by the Paux-Rosset family. La Négly offers a wide range of wines, all of which share a unique mentholated freshness. We recommend them without reservation. L'Ancely, dedicated to Mourvèdre, is the link between this range and the ambitious cuvées, produced in limited quantities and sought after by wealthy foreign connoisseurs. The current success covers all three colors, which is not so common.

Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
On the southern slope of the Clape massif, summer sea breezes temper the strength of the sun and the tramontane wind. Jean Paux-Rosset settled here in 1996 and replanted the vineyard, which now covers 100 hectares. He runs it with his sons Bastien and Mario, assisted by Claude Gros, a renowned oenologist from Narbonne.

About wine:
Cypress pine, molasses, black cherry, and black olive. An intense wine enhanced by caraway and toasted rosemary. Voluminous and brilliant tannins. A little too warm on the finish for my personal taste, but a hearty meal should balance it out nicely.

About wine:
A velvety, dense, and creamy blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. A nose of red berries, sweet cherries, and mild spices, followed by a full-bodied palate with creamy tannins. On the palate, a dense core of generous fruit and spices and a savory finish. Drink now or cellar.
