Wonderfully fragrant wine with a very nice balance between concentration, spice and drinkability. It expresses the sweet aromas of scrubland, violet, pepper and small black fruits without coating the mouth with drying tannins. This cuvée is all about finesse with an irresistible texture. It's complex, fruity and mature, round and lively, all at once. 

Perfectly pairs with lamb or turkey meatballs with herbs or serve it with Thanksgiving dinner!

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The vines grow on two different terroirs: clay-limestone soil and garrigue siliceous lenses. At the foothills of the Black Mountain, the vines are spread out about 7 miles through different villages. Jean Baptiste believes that the climate has more impact on them than the actual composition of the soil and subsoil.
Winemaker Notes
Jean Baptiste and his wife Charlotte decided 20 years ago to change their life and moved from Paris to Trausse in the Minervois region of the Languedoc, a place where his mother's family used to live. He had already done some interesting and promising wine tests here with a friend, who was a winemaker he met during his previous stays in the Minervois. Jean Baptiste dreamed of working with his hands and in 1996 he created his first vintage. He reorganized the whole winery and hired a man who would teach him how to be a true winemaker. He found his own style and since then he has created wines based on his character: honest, true, direct. He makes lively, fresh and elegant wines with a real terroir identity. He read Jules Chauvet's books which helped him visualize the kind of wine he wanted to make: a natural wine, and that led him to the EcoCert Organic Farming. Jean-Baptiste works in the vineyards and in the winery, and Charlotte oversees administrative and commercial aspects.
