Its fruity, straightforward character right from the nose carries us away in a whirlwind of fruit (wild raspberry) and generosity, with supple tannins. A highly fruity cuvée of friends, bursting with energy, and an excellent harbinger of things to come... A fine expression of the Corbières terroir!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Consultant oenologist Sophie Guiraudon couldn't resist the call of the vine. With no ancestors in the business, she set up in 2000 in a renovated sheepfold south of the Alaric. Not much land, just enough (12 ha) to grow, vinify, mature and sell her wine, all on her own. Certified organic.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2023) 90/100 (Vintage 2020)
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Bought by Sophie Guiraudon in 2000, the estate consisted of 4 hectares of old vines at altitude on a cool terroir in the commune of Ribaute. Today, this trained oenologist cultivates 11 hectares organically, with a biodynamic approach, and is busy recreating areas of biodiversity, notably by replanting trees around the plots. Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan express themselves in purity, with the help of a diversified geology dominated by clay-limestone with a tendency to gravel and pebbles. This winemaker, who created this beautiful project from scratch, vinifies without wood, all in purity.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 31/10/2023
While not denying its southern character, this is a medium-bodied Corbières that brings purity of fruit, freshness and garrigue to the center of the palate. Round, ample and generous on the palate, with a dense, easy-drinking texture enveloped by an abundant juice of concentrated, fresh, slightly musky black fruits, and carried by present, supple, deep tannins. Intense, slightly powdery finish. What could be better than this pretty, gourmet, garrigue-accented cuvée, which was shared among friends, broken up but still cheerful after a hunting trip, with butcher's merguez and lacquered ribs, cooked over the embers of a bbq? A score of 4 for this buddy wine, very pleasant to drink now, and at a price that has remained constant for two years, which is rare these days.
