Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine noté Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
Géraldine Laval vinifies her terrasses-du-larzac at La Vacquerie. Trained as an oenologist after a spell with Jean-Louis Chave, she is gradually converting her estate to organic production. An estate to watch closely.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (guide 2024) 93/100 (Vintage 2021)
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
In 2009, after training with some of the region's top winemakers, led by Olivier Jullien, Géraldine Laval set up on high-altitude plots in the Terrasses du Larzac, in the Poujols et Lauroux area, in the extreme north-west of the appellation. This small 6-hectare estate benefits from a plot composed of mature vines. A talented and passionate winemaker, Géraldine Laval expresses the purity, tension and uprightness of her terroirs with precision and sensitivity. The estate has managed the 2021 vintage well and presents a very fair range.
