"This cuvée confirms year after year that it is a benchmark for the appellation, despite its low price. Stemming, as its name suggests, from a basaltic terroir, it reveals subtle smokiness, notes of camphor, licorice and offers a very fine, graceful mouthfeel. A great success.

About the domain :
From an old winegrowing family, Jacques Bilhac, joined in 2003 by his brother Alex, heads 30 ha of vines, most of whose grapes he entrusts to the cooperative winery. In 2014, the brothers built their own winery and withdrew 7 ha from the "coop" to make their own wines.
