This purely Mediterranean blend (Carignan 60%, Grenache, Syrah, Lledoner Pellut) has a fresh nose of morello cherry, licorice licorice and black olive. The palate is concentrated yet crisp, with strawberry, mint and gunflint. A fresh, round and easily digestible balance for this airy wine.

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2022) 91/100 (Vintage 2020)
Domaine noté (guide 2025) 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 :
Adèle and Olivier met in Montpellier before working at various estates in Collioure. The call of the schist led them to Faugères, more precisely to Fos, where they found islands of old vines. In less than 10 years, they have become the new face of the appellation, and today offer a frank and fair definition of schist terroirs. Their vines, on average over 30 years old, nestle at altitudes of between 200 and 400 meters. The different styles of wine are the result of assiduous parcel-by-parcel work, and an organic conversion has been initiated for 2019. With the 2022 harvest, the couple have taken on a new location: a cellar on the road to Pézenas, complemented by a very comfortable gîte.
