Its fruity and straightforward character on the nose transports us into a whirlwind of fruit (wild raspberry) and generosity, with supple tannins. A highly fruity cuvée for friends, bursting with energy that eagerly heralds the next ones... A beautiful expression of the Corbières terroir!

About the estate:
Consulting oenologist Sophie Guiraudon couldn't resist the call of the vineyard. With no ancestors in the trade, she settled in 2000 south of Alaric, in a renovated sheepfold. The area was small, just enough (12 hectares) to grow, vinify, age, and sell her wine all by herself. Certified organic.

About the estate:
Purchased in 2000 by Sophie Guiraudon, this estate consisted of four hectares of old vines planted at altitude on cool terroir in the commune of Ribaute. Now a trained oenologist, she cultivates 11 hectares organically, using a biodynamic approach, and is working to recreate areas of biodiversity, notably by replanting trees around the plots. Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Carignan express themselves in purity, aided by a diverse geology with a predominantly clay-limestone soil that tends to be more or less gravelly and stony. This winemaker, who created this beautiful project from scratch, vinifies without wood, in all purity.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 10/31/2023
Without denying its southern character, this is a medium-bodied Corbières that focuses on the purity of the fruit, freshness, and garrigue. Round, full-bodied and generous on the palate, its dense, easy-drinking texture is enveloped by abundant concentrated and fresh black fruit juices, slightly musky, and carried by present, supple and deep tannins. The finish is intense, with a hint of powder. What more could you ask for than this lovely, indulgent cuvée with hints of garrigue, shared among friends, exhausted but still cheerful after a day of hunting, with butcher's merguez sausages and glazed pork ribs cooked on a barbecue? A score of 4 for this very pleasant wine to drink now, which has remained at the same price for two years, which is rare these days.
