"Generous!"

Intense, generous and complex on the palate, with a long finish. Exalting aromas of spices and black fruits (blueberries, blackcurrants...). A wine with tension, fruitiness and mineral notes that reflect its terroir. Generous and powerful, waiting to be discovered!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated wine (guide 2023) 91/100

Estate rated (2018 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Its name indicates the type of soil on which the vines grow, a fine, sappy, slender and fresh wine that deserves a little cellaring to release its aromatic potential.

About the domain :

Catherine and Daniel Le Conte des Floris have established themselves on the Pézenas terroir. The remarkably deep whites demonstrate the interest the value of white carignan, and show just how wrong it was to have a mistake. The region's wisest winemakers are starting to replant, a sign of the times. The range of reds are based on the terroirs in which they were born: carboniferous, basaltic basaltic and villafranchian. In white, Lune Blanche is one of Languedoc's most original wines, thanks to its blend of white carignan. Combined with roussanne, it becomes lune-rousse, and then marsanne. Grenache from Villafranchian soil and Syrah from carboniferous schist cultivate elegance and drinkability.

Wine rated (guide 2023) 94/100

Estate rated (2018 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

Carbonifère, more serious and reserved at this stage, offers notes of graphite and wild laurel. The attack is serene, the finish chalky and still tight.

About the domain :

It was in 2000 that Daniel Le Conte des Floris, a former journalist, took the plunge and created this small but exciting domaine in Pézenas. His Burgundian training is evident in his taste for terroir variation, the delicate management of barrel ageing and, ultimately, in wines favoring aromatic complexity and freshness. Word of mouth has made the whites stars of the Languedoc, pioneers in their intense, precise, gourmet style, with a breath of fresh air. In the fine style of reds, the Villafranchien (grenache), Carbonifère (syrah) and Basaltique cuvées are a fine trilogy of terroir varietals that sometimes need a year or two of cellaring to find their feet.

2019 drunk in summer 2023. Lots of finesse and very good length for a wine that must be decanted.
