“A Organic and rich Languedoc Organic wine!”

Clos Maïa 2023 reveals a complex and intense bouquet of blueberry and redcurrant; the rich, luscious flavors of its dark fruits are enhanced by spicy notes that invite you to savor it. Its smoothness and velvety texture on the palate offer aromas that echo the nose, complemented by elegant tannins and a long, delicate finish.

Rated wine (2025 Guide) 94/100 Favorite 2022 Vintage)

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

After learning the trade from leading winemakers in the region, notably Olivier Jullien, Géraldine Laval established herself in 2009 on high-altitude plots in the Terrasses du Larzac, in the Poujols and Lauroux area, in the far northwest of the appellation. This small 6-hectare estate benefits from a vineyard layout composed 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 handled the 2021 vintage well and presents a very well-balanced range.
