“An ode to the garrigue for this iconic vintage, reflecting the elegance of the Grés de Montpellier terroir”
The estate’s signature wine, with alluring aromas of black and red fruits, combined with Mediterranean flavors. Aging lends it a lovely smoky and chocolatey note, supported by a fresh, dense, and floral palate. A real treat!

Wine rated (2025 Guide) 91/100 (2020 vintage)
Rated estate (2025 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
We admire the energy and healthy ambition of the two sisters, Diane and Constance, who energetically manage L'Engarran (50 hectares), spread out around an 18th-century folly. Diane, who oversees winemaking, strives for precision. The style highlights the grapes’ full ripeness, resulting in opulent wines, with improvements in the quality of the tannins, which are now finer and rounder.
