“Such a pronounced minerality—both salty and bitter—that the wine seems to sparkle and crackle like crystals in my mouth. Linear. Surgical precision. A peppery finish. Uncompromising, unyielding, yet incredibly addictive. Extremely appetizing—I can easily imagine it paired with anchovies or small breakfast radishes spread with cold salted butter. (Jancis Robinson 2026).

Bettane & Desseauve
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 region’s leading estates. 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 wholeheartedly. L’Ancely, dedicated to Mourvèdre, serves as the bridge between this range and the more ambitious cuvées—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.
Guide Hachette des vins
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, supported by Claude Gros, a renowned winemaker from Narbonne.
