Old Cinsault is at the heart of this fruity cuvée, supported by Grenache, Syrah and Carignan. An irresistibly greedy, unctuous wine. The fruit is sublimated and the terroir is fantastically enhanced by a beautiful freshness. (Wine delivered without capsule).

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (guide 2026) 94/100 (Vintage 2023)
Domaine rated (guide 2026) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Jean-Baptiste Granier makes one of the most exciting cinsaults, virtuosically cultivating a small dozen hectares since his debut in 2007, propelled by a certain Olivier Jullien. Delicious, floral finish, red fruits, licorice: the similarity of tactile sensations with Burgundy's great Pinot Noirs is obvious. It has all the hallmarks of a great wine, except for the price. The grand cuvée, made from Terrasses-du-Larzac, has not fallen into any of the classic traps of over-ripeness and over-extraction, and is right up there with the best of its kind, so close to equaling them. In just a few years, this white has established itself as one of the region's finest gastronomic wines.

Wine rated (guide 2026) 90/100 (Vintage 2023)
Domaine rated (guide 2026) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
The Vignes Oubliées project began in 2007, when Olivier Jullien and Jean-Baptiste Granier, then an intern at Mas Jullien, decided to vinify parcels of old vines at altitude in the Saint-Privat area for the first time. The vineyards were planted on abandoned schist and sandstone, which produced very fine grapes, but in small volumes, and did not meet the expectations of the local cooperatives. The trial was conclusive, the wine was baptized, and the adventure could continue: Jean-Baptiste will look after these old vines. They are now matured in a natural cave, a restored former oil mill. Expressions have been gently refined, to deliver wines with pure, deep mouthfeel.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 18/10/2025
Consistently charming and as harmonious as ever, this cuvée is consistent, supple and silky on the palate, delivering a fresh, greedy juice of wild blackberry and blackcurrant, coupled with a touch of spice and a few earthy, chalky notes, bordered by deep, refined tannins. To our delight, the dapper finish is galvanized by the intensity of the fruit. Delicious with lamb tagine from Lozère with apricots and roasted almonds from Roussillon. Score = 4.2.
