“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 serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
We admire the energy and healthy ambition of sisters Diane and Constance, who energetically run L'Engarran (50 hectares), scattered around an 18th-century folly. Diane, in charge of winemaking, strives for precision. The style highlights the great maturity of the grapes, which makes the wines opulent, with improvements in the quality of the tannins, which are finer and rounder.

About the estate:
Ch. de l'Engarran is an 18th-century Montpellier "folly" listed in the National Inventory of Historic Monuments. Three generations of women have made this 55-hectare estate one of the most beautiful addresses in Grés de Montpellier and Saint-Georges-d'Orques.
