Magellan Estate
Domaine Magellan, located in Magalas north of Béziers, was created in 1999 by Bruno Lafon and Sylvie Legros, who found a majority of plots perfectly suited to quality production.

Domaine Magellan has 31.5 hectares planted, of which 29 hectares are PDO. The vines are planted on the slopes of 2 hills with two distinct terroirs: the "Pech Redon" terroir (the round hill), composed of Triassic sandstone, and the Villafranchien terroir, with Quaternary terraces typical of the Piscénois region. In the vineyard, it was necessary to rethink growing practices and apply the rules of the art: Sylvie and Bruno introduced 100% manual harvesting at Domaine Magellan, a forgotten practice on these superb terroirs, and saw the vines certified organic from 2010. A new cellar has also been built, vast, efficient and functional: pampering and respecting the grapes are also part of the Magellan style, where vinification is classic and meticulous.

"After 15 years, we have found our truth and are in tune with ourselves. The cultures have found each other, melted together and the identity has now been created," say these rigorous and talented winemakers.

"Superb value for money for this subtle cuvée".

This Pinot Noir has fine floral, raspberry and anise notes, complemented by a certain salinity. The palate is juicy but balanced by tones of undergrowth and clove. Subtle tension between acidity and fine tannins, with good length.

"A very fresh red, with raspberry notes, pure and generous fruitiness, with a certain suppleness." (La Revue du Vin de France - June 2021). Grenache, Syrah and Carignan are blended here to produce a dense, pleasant wine, rich and well-balanced. Superb value for money!

Le Fruit Défendu is the estate's little delicacy, developing fruity notes of blackberry and blackcurrant on the nose. A soft, fruity wine, with slightly peppery and spicy accents, and a delicate hint of bay leaf. A wine for pleasure and conviviality!

90/100 Wine Spectator

Notes : Guide Hachette 2**(Remarkable wine), Wine Spectator 90/100
"An intense, powerful wine with an almost black purple color. The aromatic palette reflects the surrounding garrigue, complemented by cherry brandy. On the palate, it combines concentration and freshness, roundness and well-crafted tannins. If it can be served now with prime rib, it's still a wine in the making". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins)
