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 11/20/2023
Distinct from the standard full-bodied wines of the appellation, this Corbières expresses not only the elegance of Carignan, but also the intensity of its distinct fruit aromas of prune, black cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant, accompanied by subtle spices and notes of garrigue, licorice, and leather... This whirlwind of flavors is found in a full-bodied, complex and supple palate with medium-bodied, mellow tannins that are already beautifully silky and juicy, with a bright fruitiness that lasts right to the finish. Ready for medium-term aging of around five years. Rated 4.1 for excellent value for money, not to mention pleasure. This convincing cuvée is very appealing when shared with friends with Cabardès lamb racks in a herb crust and a Languedoc-style eggplant gratin.
