Rated estate (2026 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
The perfect choice for those who want to discover fine Languedoc wines that remain true to their terroir. Jérôme Joseph and Laurent Calmel are wine merchants without their own cellars. They age the selected vintages at the winemakers’ estates from whom they purchase them, respecting the original flavors and terroirs. A wide, delightful selection featuring many excellent wines and a few stunning surprises.

Jancis Robinson
Wine rated (2024 guide) 16,5/20
Rated: Recommended
About the wine:
The oak has left distinct notes of vanilla, coconut, and mocha on the fruit. But the blueberry and blackcurrant are ripe and pure, and there are delightful undertones of purple sage. The tannins are elegant, moderate, and fresh.
