Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Philippe Modat compensated for the ungratefulness of his job as a clerk at the Commercial Court by breathing new life into his wild gneiss lands in Caramany, with the help of his indefatigable steward Laurent Abet. Today, his sons Quentin and Louis have taken over, with many projects in mind. Irreproachable viticulture, respectful vinification, range building: everything is in place to help the estate grow and evolve. Promising wines, a cellar full of ideas, and a welcome wind of youth blowing through an appellation that needs it more than ever.

Domain rated (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Of Catalan origin, Philippe Modat, a magistrate, is an enlightened wine enthusiast like his father, who also became a winemaker. In 2006, this passion led to the creation of an estate in the Agly valley: 27 ha of vines on a plateau 300 m above sea level, in organic conversion since 2011 (8 ha in biodynamic viticulture) and an ecologically designed cellar, equipped with photovoltaic cells, inaugurated in 2008.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 30/12/2023
Just a "love note" for this crunchy, fresh, ultra-fruity treat. After a frank, round attack, the mid-palate is lined with a soft, juicy texture, centered on the omnipresence of bright fruit and underscored by a touch of zan and a hint of spice. Finely crafted and well-structured, with good acidity underpinned by round, silky tannins that accentuate depth and a pleasant sensation of freshness on the finish. A friendly, easily digestible wine for friends, ready to drink now. After decanting, a real treat in all simplicity with a pluma of Iberian pig glazed with balsamic sauce, kikkoman and Espelette pepper. Score = 4.
