About the estate:

Hervé Bizeul, a winemaker and rebellious writer, has little left to prove, as his estate ranks among the elite of Roussillon. That doesn’t stop him from continually challenging himself, exploring new avenues, innovating, thinking outside the box, and creating new vintages. A prime example is his Pinot Noir, which appeared 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—much like its winemaker. From no fewer than seven different terroirs emerges a serious and diverse interpretation of Roussillon. A model of its kind.
