"The estate's great spirit, in perfect harmony"

“I loved the 2020 Terrasses Du Larzac La Conscience, a blend of 40% Grenache and Syrah, with the remainder made up of Cinsault and Mourvèdre. Its deep purple color is followed by a magnificent nose of darker berries and blackcurrant, supported by spring flowers, damp earth, and a wonderful sense of minerality. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced, it features fine tannins, well-integrated acidity, and a pure, layered, and incredibly impressive style. Crafted by Audrey Bonnet-Koenig (of La Peira), this top-tier Terrasses du Larzac will be enjoyable for the next decade.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2023).

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Mas Conscience has changed hands and is now led by Audrey Bonnet-Koenig, who was in charge of winemaking at Château de Sérame and managed La Peira after working at Dubourdieu. She is assisted by the renowned oenologist Claude Gros. Let’s hope this new team continues the quality-driven revitalization of this beautiful estate that Nathalie and Éric Ajorque had begun.

Decanter

Wine rated (2023 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

On the nose, violet blends with baked fruit, blackberry coulis, cranberry, and a hint of fig. On the palate, it is dense, concentrated, and full-bodied, yet it offers plenty of freshness, crisp acidity, and a distinct crunch, making it surprisingly succulent. The finish is spicy, with notes of blueberry and vanilla.

About the estate:

Founded by Éric and Nathalie Ajorque, this 15-hectare organic vineyard, located at the foot of the Séranne mountain range, was purchased in 2000 by Roman Kocholl, who fulfilled his dream after a long career in the digital industry in Hamburg. At the helm is Audrey Bonnet, an agricultural engineer and former director of the Peira winery, supported by Claude Gros, a renowned consulting oenologist.

James Suckling

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

A medium-bodied to full-bodied red with aromas of black cherry, smoke, and baked goods. Firm tannins, a bold, peppery character on the palate, and a savory finish. Ready to drink now or suitable for aging.
