The aim here is to highlight all the elegance of Cinsault, which Patricia Boyer-Domergue considers the most noble grape variety of the Languedoc, much like Pinot Noir in Burgundy. Vinified as a great red wine for aging, it expresses all its elegance and finesse thanks to expert craftsmanship. The palate is delicate and silky, revealing crisp notes of spice and garrigue. A must-try from the estate!

About the estate:
This unique estate, situated in the picturesque setting of the Siran plateau, is run by Cécile Boyer-Domergue, who is always assisted by her mother, Patricia. Their wines are the result of work carried out with exemplary integrity, focused on cultivating rare or forgotten grape varieties. The fruit expression on the nose is always slightly candied, while on the palate the wines display rare elegance and great finesse of texture, particularly the pure Cinsaults. The top vintages are sold only at their peak. The estate produces a lovely dry white made from forgotten varieties: white Araignan, white and gray Riveyrenc, as well as a raisin-based wine, Erme, in the spirit of the “noble wines” once produced in the Minervois. We must commend the uniqueness and strength of this approach—both viticultural and commemorative—which serves as a vital benchmark, not only for the Minervois but for the entire Languedoc region.
