"The great soul of the estate, in perfect harmony"
"I loved the 2020 Terrasses Du Larzac La Conscience, a blend of 40% Grenache and Syrah, with the rest being 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 has fine tannins, well-integrated acidity, and a pure, layered, and incredibly impressive style. Made by Audrey Bonnet-Koenig (from La Peira), this top-notch Terrasses du Larzac will be ready to drink over the next decade." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023).

Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Mas Conscience has changed hands and is now run by Audrey Bonnet-Koenig, who was in charge of technical operations at Château de Sérame and managed La Peira after working at Dubourdieu. She is assisted by renowned oenologist Claude Gros. We wish this new team every success in continuing the qualitative renewal of this beautiful estate that Nathalie and Éric Ajorque had initiated.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 92/100
About wine:
On the nose, violet mingles with cooked fruit, blackberry coulis, cranberry, and a hint of fig. On the palate, it is dense, concentrated, and full-bodied, but there is plenty of freshness, radical acidity, and a distinct crispness, making it surprisingly succulent. Spicy finish of blueberry and vanilla.

About the estate:
Created by Éric and Nathalie Ajorque, this 15-hectare organic estate, located at the foot of the Séranne massif, was bought in 2000 by Roman Kocholl, who fulfilled his dream after a long career in digital technology in Hamburg. At its helm is Audrey Bonnet, an agricultural engineer and former director of the Peira winery, supported by Claude Gros, a renowned consultant oenologist.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100
About wine:
A medium-bodied to full-bodied red with aromas of black cherry, smoke, and baking spices. Firm tannins, punchy and peppery on the palate, and a savory finish. Drink now or hold.
