At the upper reaches of Terrasses du Larzac, Marie and Frédéric farm a remote, windswept plot of Syrah, Grenache, and Cinsault — certified organic and biodynamic since planting. The high altitude and exposure here set their wines apart, bringing freshness and lifted elegance.
The final blend is 45% Syrah, 45% Grenache, and 10% bright, juicy Cinsault, aged for 16 months in terracotta amphora. It’s all slurpy purple fruit, sweet spice and gently grippy — a wine of natural poise and Mediterranean soul.
Certified Ecocert organic and Demeter biodynamic. 45% Grenache, 45% Syrah, 10% Cinsault on very stony clay-limestone at 400 m. Hand-picked, spontaneous fermentation, 25-day fermentation, no additives. Aged in raw cement vats and amphora for 16 months. A little sulphite added at bottling.
"Stunning raspberry and blackcurrant fruit that has a shimmering intensity. Seems to glow from the inside, like a ruby lit up inside coal. The texture on this wine is beautiful, like a hand-turned clay vessel that has come off the wheel and gone through the first firing, before it has been glazed, silky but rough. So much life in this wine!" - Tamlyn Currin, Jancis Robinson
