Les Vignes Oubliées
Located in St Privat, in the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac, the Domaine les Forgotten Vines is the fruit of a project initiated in the 2000s by Jean-Baptiste Granier, a young agricultural engineer, and Olivier Jullien, a renowned Languedoc winegrower. 

These 9 hectares of vines, destined to be abandoned for economic reasons, have come back to life, now cultivated in partnership with their owners. Benefiting from the generosity of the Languedoc coupled with the freshness of the Larzac, this high-altitude terroir (up to 350m) and its rich soils of schist, sandstone and clay-limestone make it an exceptional site. 

The wines are the result of meticulous work on the soil and vines, and carry a true message of terroir, highlighting the grape varieties. The wines are matured in a cool cave, a former oil mill, conveying a true message of terroir. 

In a dapper, easy-to-digest style, this Languedoc-declared cuvée is pure joy. Based on clairette grapes, the white is skilfully framed by wood ageing. The soil composition is rich: Schist; Sandstone; Clay-limestone.

"A cuvée that perfectly embodies the Mediterranean art of living, a beautiful expression of Cinsault".

Old Cinsault is at the heart of this fruity cuvée, supported by Grenache, Syrah and Carignan. An irresistibly greedy, unctuous wine. The fruit is sublimated and the terroir is fantastically enhanced by a beautiful freshness. (Wine delivered without capsule).
