"A real discovery for this cuvée from a micro appellation, full of finesse and freshness".
Formerly known as La Main de l'Homme, this Languedoc red from a typically Southern blend vinified without sulfur continues to seduce. Voluptuous, distinctive and racy, it's built on a framework of red fruits enhanced by spices and pepper. Its freshness brings an airy balance. A pure Languedoc product!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2025) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
On the outskirts of Narbonne and bordering the Etang de Bages, the Quartouze plateau is a historic Languedoc terroir, with soils of rolled pebbles. The bishops of the cité& audoise had vineyards here. In 1983, engineer Georges Ortola bought an abandoned vineyard, then a second one five years later. Today, with his children Hélène and Nelson, he farms 120 ha biodynamically. His vineyard is used as pasture for sheep in winter.
