Château La Négly - La Clape La Brise Marine 2025
17/20
Jancis Robinson
“A fresh, rich, and refined white wine with briny notes... We love it!”
“White peaches and mint. Another intensely fragrant white from Négly. It buzzes with excitement, as if it had a little motor inside. Magnificent aromas of apricot and nectarine, enhanced by ginger, lemongrass, and chamomile. A salty minerality on the finish. Black pepper and lemony barley. Surprising twists. Still very young, but my goodness, it’s good!” (Jancis Robinson 2025).

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Château La Négly is one of the leading names in the Languedoc. Situated 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; the cuvées share a unique minty freshness, and we recommend them without reservation. L’Ancely, dedicated to Mourvèdre, serves as the bridge between this range and the ambitious cuvées, produced in limited quantities and sought after by affluent international wine enthusiasts. The current success spans all three wine types, which is not all that common.

Rated estate (2026 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 intensity of the sun and the tramontane wind. Having settled here in 1996, Jean Paux-Rosset 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.
