“The crown jewel of the Terrasses du Larzac, embodying all the authenticity of this exceptional terroir”
“This lively red, aged for 24 months in barrels, showcases Syrah. The nose confirms this with notes of ripe raspberry, Zan, violet, and warm stone. Plump and concentrated, with tight, powdery tannins, the palate is impressive and finishes beautifully with hints of grape must and peppermint. What energy!” (Le Guide Hachette 2026).

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
La Réserve d’O is a vineyard spanning about ten hectares, located in Arboras on the heights of the Terrasses du Larzac. Founded in 2004 by Frédéric and Marie Chauffray and managed according to biodynamic principles, it quickly rose to become one of the region’s most recognized estates. The estate’s namesake wine displays a rich, elegant style; it has evolved significantly and, since 2011, has held a prominent place among the Languedoc’s leading wines. Bilbo and Hissez-O are fine examples of the Terrasses du Larzac appellation, offering a more full-bodied style.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the wine:
This lively red, in which Syrah takes center stage, has been aged for 24 months in barrels. The nose confirms this with notes of ripe raspberry, Zan, violet, and warm stone. Full-bodied, concentrated, and wrapped in tight, powdery tannins, the palate is impressive and finishes beautifully with hints of grape must and peppermint. What energy!
About the estate:
Located at high altitude on the Arboras plateau, the vineyards (12 ha) here struggle to find soil beneath the stones. Having settled here in 2005, Marie—the new president of the Terrasses du Larzac winegrowers’ association—and Frédéric Chauffray practice biodynamic viticulture and use gentle winemaking methods (minimal SO₂, no added yeast, and no fining or filtration) to craft wines from harvests where each grape is meticulously selected.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Frédéric Chauffray has two passions: rock music and wine. Between his Gibson guitar and winemaking, he ultimately chose the latter. Starting out as a wine merchant alongside his wife Marie in 1990, he founded his own winery in 2004 in the Terrasses du Larzac region, in the town of Arboras, at an elevation of about 400 meters. Thanks to this cool geographical location—in the foothills of the Larzac Plateau, below the Col du Vent—and a highly respectful, minimally interventionist approach to viticulture, the couple quickly began producing open, joyful wines, a far cry from the more austere styles of some wines in the region. Their success is well established, and the Réserve continues to flow freely.
