About wine:

Don't miss out on this beautiful Southern wine, which showcases a perfect mastery of the terroir, the grapes, and the winemaking process. It offers concentration, richness, and depth, with chocolatey, peppery tannins, ripe fruit, and a finish that lingers.

About the estate:

This unique property, located in the poetic setting of the Causse de Siran, is run by Cécile Boyer-Domergue, with the continued support of her mother Patricia. Their wines are the result of exemplary integrity, focused on the cultivation of rare or forgotten grape varieties. The fruit expression on the nose is always slightly candied, while on the palate the wines display a rare elegance and great finesse of texture, particularly the pure Cinsault wines. The great vintages are only sold at their peak. The estate produces a lovely dry white wine made from forgotten varieties: Araignan Blanc, Riveyrenc Blanc and Gris, as well as a passerillé wine, Erme, in the spirit of the "noble wines" once produced in Minervois. We must applaud the uniqueness and strength of this approach, both winemaking and memorial, which offers an important benchmark not only for Minervois, but for the entire Languedoc region.
