"Gastronomic white
"Les Vignes Oubliées blanc 2021 is a true high-altitude wine, subtle and energetic, with notes of acacia and lilac, and a lovely texture that's first creamy and then more stretched out on the finish. It has everything it takes to age well, gaining even more patina and adorning itself with beautiful melliferous notes". (Le Guide RVF 2024).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100
Domain rated (2025 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
A blend of clairette, roussanne and grenache blanc that has retained its freshness in 2021, which is not the case with all Languedoc whites. This gastronomic wine has a slender, pure finish.
About the domain :
Jean-Baptiste Granier makes one of the most exciting cinsaults, virtuosically cultivating a small dozen hectares since his debut in 2007, propelled by a certain Olivier Jullien. Delicious, floral finish, red fruit, licorice: the similarity of tactile sensations with Burgundy's great Pinot Noirs is obvious. It has all the hallmarks of a great wine, except for the price. The grand cuvée, made from Terrasses-du-Larzac, has not fallen into any of the classic traps of over-ripeness and over-extraction, and is right up there with the models of the genre, so close to equaling them. In just a few years, this white has established itself as one of the region's finest gastronomic wines.

About the wine:
Les Vignes Oubliées blanc 2021 is a true high-altitude wine, subtle and energetic, with notes of acacia and lilac, and a lovely texture that starts out creamy, then stretches out on the finish. It has everything it takes to age well, gaining even more patina and adorning itself with beautiful melliferous notes.
About the domain :
The Vignes Oubliées project began in 2007, when Olivier Jullien and Jean-Baptiste Granier, then an intern at Mas Jullien, decided to vinify parcels of old vines at altitude in the Saint-Privat area for the first time. The vineyards were planted on abandoned schist and sandstone, which produced very fine grapes, but in small quantities, and did not meet the expectations of the local cooperatives. The trial was conclusive, the wine was baptized, and the adventure could continue: Jean-Baptiste will look after these old vines. They are now matured in a natural cave, a restored former oil mill. Expressions have been gently refined, to deliver wines with pure, deep mouthfeel.
