Les Lucioles is reminiscent of the flashlights used during night harvests, which recall these pretty little creatures. The result is a full-bodied, fresh wine with good density and lemony flavors that carry through to the finish. Perfect for the next get-together with friends!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15.5/20 (Vintage 2018) (Very good wine)
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
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.
