"No regrets!"

Hervé Bizeul, believing that the 2023 vintage from his plot, which usually produces Petite Sibérie, wouldn't live up to his flagship cuvée, decided not to produce it. However, after vinifying his harvest anyway, he noticed that while it lacked the length of his other wines, it still possessed magnificent potential. Not wanting to have any regrets, he crafted it with just as much care and precision. The result is an elegant, velvety wine imbued with richness and complexity that will pair wonderfully with a venison tenderloin!

About the estate:

Hervé Bizeul, a winemaker and maverick writer, has little left to prove, as his estate ranks among the elite of Roussillon. Yet this does not stop him from constantly challenging himself, exploring new avenues, innovating, thinking outside the box, and creating new vintages. A prime example is his Pinot Noir, which came out of nowhere and bravely withstands the harsh sun and the Tramontane winds of the Agly Valley. Here, each cuvée displays a personality all its own, sometimes uncompromising, just like its winemaker. From no fewer than seven different terroirs emerges a serious and diverse interpretation of Roussillon. A model of its kind.
