Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated wine (guide 2022) 2*Stars (Vintage 2019) (Outstanding wine)
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) 91/100 (Vintage 2019)
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 20/11/2023
A departure from the appellation's full-bodied standard, this Corbières expresses not only the elegance of Carignan, but also the intensity of its fruit aromas of prune, black cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant, accompanied by fine spices and hints of garrigue, licorice and leather... This whirlwind of flavors is reflected in a full-bodied, complex, loose palate built around medium-bodied, mellow tannins that are already beautifully silky, and a bloody, juicy flesh that's brilliantly fruity all the way through. Ready for an average ageing of around five years. Score of 4.1 for an excellent Q/P ratio, without forgetting the pleasure. This convincing cuvée is very appetizing when shared with friends and served with herb-crusted rack of Cabardès lamb and eggplant gratin à la Languedocienne.
