Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Cité (Vin réussi)
About the domain :
The estate's cuvées each evoke a member of the family: Sourire d'Odile, Secret de Monique, les deux Roger... Frédéric Mézy is at the helm, working according to the precepts of biodynamic agriculture and the lunar calendar.

About the wine:
Sourire d'Odile is more roasted and fleshy. The underlying freshness of 2021 suits it well.
About the domain :
In 1998, Roger Mézy replanted 3.5 hectares of vines on the beautiful terroir of the Triadou commune, for his son Frédéric, then a physics and chemistry student with a passion for vines and wine. Frédéric took over the business, soon joined by his wife Pauline. After various acquisitions, including a number of old plots, the estate now boasts 58 hectares, spread over the different sectors of the Pic-Saint-Loup appellation. Geological variations - limestone scree, marl and rolled pebbles - allow us to play with our blends. The estate has been using biodynamic practices since 2007. The slightly marked woodiness and heavy extractions of the early days are a thing of the past. Today, the wines are much more balanced, digestible, typical and finely textured.
