"This deeply Languedoc-style and authentic wine showcases the uniqueness of forgotten grape varieties"

A full-bodied wine with aromas of raspberry, morello cherry, and pomegranate, accented by hints of licorice and Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it is full-bodied with silky tannins, carried by vibrant fruit and a lovely freshness. This wine uniquely captures the rich, indulgent character of the South, combined with a very refined mouthfeel.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 93/100 (2018 vintage)

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

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.
