"A Organic and delicious Organic Languedoc wine!"

Its smoothness and velvety texture on the palate offer aromas that echo the nose, complemented by elegant tannins and a long, delicate finish.

Wine rating (2025 guide) 94/100 Favorite 2022 vintage)

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

After learning the ropes from leading winemakers in the region, notably Olivier Jullien, Géraldine Laval settled in 2009 on high-altitude plots in the Terrasses du Larzac, in the Poujols and Lauroux area, in the far north-west of the appellation. This small 6-hectare estate benefits from a plot of mature vines. A talented and passionate winemaker, Géraldine Laval expresses the purity, tension, and integrity of her terroirs with precision and sensitivity. The estate has managed the 2021 vintage well and presents a very balanced range.
