IGP Pays d'Herault
100% Cinsault
Cinsault is the Pinot Noir of Languedoc: a less sustained color than the purplish Syrahs that we know well. This wine has pronounced fruit aromas, but it is delicate, with hints of cherry and a touch of cinnamon. This cuvée is the only wine from this domaine vinified and bottled without added sulfites. A very natural wine, but also fragile and not to be put in cellars.
AOP Côtes du Roussillon - Caramany Villages
65% Carignan, 20% Grenache, 15% Syrah
This organic blend of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah bewitches even before the first sip with its gorgeous, garnet color. Pure pleasure follows with aromas of black fruit, earth and flint. A silky mouthfeel and a fresh, spicy palate complement the elegant tannins.

Vin de France
50% Carignan, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon
Very intense and pure red, slightly purplish, aromas of very ripe black fruits between blueberry and blackberry mixed with smoky notes, bay leaf, thyme and violet. Endowed with well-coated tannins and a slight firmness, this wine combines subtlety, depth and concentration.
Vin de France
94% Syrah, 6% Viognier
This beautiful blend of Syrah and Viognier from Faugéres schiste soil is Simon "The Coulsh'" Coulshaw's fabulous take on the iconic Côte-Rôtie wine. This rare vintage entices with wafts of rose petals and spice, followed by earthy garrigue and dark chocolate dusted forest floor. All of this layered on baked plums and cherries. A wine for the long haul to share with the best of friends.
AOP Saint Chinian
45% Syrah, 40% Grenache Noir, 15% Cinsault
Dark red fruit, spiciness, leather tones, and a long finish make this an all-occasion, “knife-and-fork” wine. A hearty Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault blend, Cuvée des Chevaliers reflects the rich history of the Milhau Lacugue estate, which was the site of a Roman villa and later offered rest and refreshment to medieval pilgrims en route to sacred sites in Spain.
AOP Malepère
50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec
Raise a glass of dazzling garnets with this Merlot-dominant blend. Entrancing aromas of cherry, dark fruit, and sweet spices are touched with roasted oak. The fruit blooms in a very ripe mouth and nuances of macerated fruit integrate the medium tannins. This cuvée will evolve with grace and class.
AOP Fitou
40% Carignan, 30% Grenache, 30% Syrah
The secret of this succulent, smooth Fitou cuvée definitely comes from the age of the Carignan, Grenache and Syrah vines-most more than 100 years old! Luscious with buckets of blackberries, wild herbs, ripe black cherries and a suede leather finish. The wine has a warmth as it glides down which is beautifully balanced by the soft tannins, full body and delicious flavors.
AOP Malapère
60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc
The winemaker's signature finesse is found in this cuvée. In a high perched terroir, Merlot and Cabernet Franc deliver a fresh and lovely nose, a dynamic, generous, and greedy juice, a palette of small black fruits, fresh pepper, iris, a touch of herbiness, earthy with fresh acidity.
AOP Pic Saint Loup
60% Syrah, 35% Mourvèdre, 5% Grenache
This Premier Crú of Pic Saint Loup and Languedoc is bursting with Grenache and Syrah fruit enhanced by spices and herbs gifted by the wild sage and thyme in the L'Hortus vineyards. Deep red with garnet reflections, the nose is intense and complex with aromas of dried fruit, licorice, violet, vanilla, red fruit and a touch of mint. Wonderfully aromatic with never a hint of over-ripeness.
AOP Pic Saint Loup
60% Syrah, 35% Mourvèdre, 5% Grenache
This spectacular blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre is enriched by the garrigue surrounding the L'Hortus vineyards: wild sage, thyme and rosemary. Deep garnet reflections light up the glass. The nose is intense and complex with aromas of dried red fruit, licorice, violet, vanilla, pear, and a touch of mint. Wonderfully aromatic with never a hint of over-ripeness.
AOP Languedoc
45% Carignan Noir, 45% Mourvèdre, 5% Grenache Noir, 5% Syrah
Carignan and Mourvèdre are the heart of this gorgeous full-bodied red, accented with Syrah and Grenache Noir. Aromas of spice and leather enhance silky tannins that blossom into a lingering, rich aftertaste. Grand Saut 2014 took silver at the 2016 Hérault Valley wine competition.
AOP Terrasses Du Larzac
60% Syrah, 35% Grenache Noir, 5% Cinsault
Aromas of violet, thyme, blueberry, and cherry infuse this organic, biodynamic beauty. The mouth is silky and fine but firm, with a long, luscious finish. Savor this medium-bodied blend of Syrah, Grenache Noir, and Cinsault, shaped by the extraordinary terroir of Terasses Du Larzac.
