Rated estate (2026 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Clos du Serres was established in 2006 in Saint-Jean-de-la-Blaquière, in the foothills of the Larzac, at an altitude of nearly 300 meters, by Béatrice and Sébastien Fillon. Vintage after vintage, the same systematic pursuit of authenticity is evident. The lineup has been reimagined around the Maros, grown on schist and offering a perfect balance between density and drinkability; Sainte-Pauline, grown on sandstone and rounded pebbles, which is supple and rich; Palas, grown on sandstone and schist, which is vibrant and firm; and Saint-Jean, a well-rounded and flavorful blend of terroirs. “Humeur-vagabonde” is made from Syrah and Carignan that few are capable of elevating to this level of charm: youthful on the palate, it doesn’t feel its 85 years. But the entire range differs only in subtle nuances; the estate’s signature style strongly permeates all the cuvées, and the originally quite powerful style evolves toward much more airy nuances—bravo! We’re adding a star this year in recognition of the estate’s consistent excellence over the years, including its white wine, which takes its cue from Hermitage in the northern Rhône.

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the estate:
Between the sunshine of the Hérault and the cool air of the Aveyron, on a mosaic of schist, pebbles, and red sandstone, Sébastien Fillon took over this 15-hectare estate in 2006. A chemical engineer by training, he now runs his vineyard using organic farming methods, with the help of his wife, Béatrice.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This estate, founded in 2006 by Béatrice and Sébastien Fillon in the Saint-Jean-de-la-Blaquière area, in the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac, covers a total of 15 hectares and benefits from both a rich geological diversity (schist, ruffe, sandstone, and pebbles) and a significant temperature range between day and night. In the vineyard, the approach is very respectful of the grapes and the ecosystem. In the winery, built of Gard stone, oak is not used: the wines are vinified by plot, and aging takes place exclusively in concrete tanks. The emphasis is on the purest expression of the terroir and the raw material. This is evident in the wines, which are full of personality, textured, and complex.
