Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Château La Négly is one of the Languedoc’s leading estates. Located on La Clape, on clay-limestone soil, this large 50-hectare estate also produces 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; what all the vintages have in common is a unique minty freshness, and we recommend them without reservation. L’Ancely, dedicated to Mourvèdre, serves as the bridge between this range and the more ambitious vintages—produced in limited quantities and sought after by affluent international wine enthusiasts. The estate’s current success spans all three wine types, which is quite rare.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

On the southern slope of the Clape massif, summer sea breezes temper the intensity of the sun and the tramontane wind. Jean Paux-Rosset, who settled here in 1996, replanted the vineyard, which now covers 100 hectares and which he runs with his sons Bastien and Mario, assisted by Claude Gros, a renowned oenologist from Narbonne.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 16/20

About the wine:

Cypress pine, molasses, black cherry, and black olive. An intense wine with notes of caraway and toasted rosemary. Full-bodied, vibrant tannins. A bit too much heat on the finish for my liking, but a hearty meal should balance it out.

Rated "Recommended"

About the wine:

A velvety, full-bodied, and creamy blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. The nose offers notes of red berries, sweet cherries, and mild spices, leading into a full-bodied palate with creamy tannins. On the palate, a dense core of generous fruit and spices gives way to a savory finish. Ready to drink now or worth cellaring.
