"Les Salines is a parcel-based Maury featuring full-bodied Grenache, blackberry and candied strawberry notes. Balanced on the palate, it whets the appetite". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF) A fine representative of its appellation!

Expert opinion

Guide Hachette des vins

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Domain rated (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

Lovely notes of blackberry, blackcurrant and plum, with a hint of button mushroom and garrigue. After an attack balanced between sweetness and freshness, the mid-palate is crisp, evocative of burlat cherry. But the still-firm tannins are a reminder that rushing is not a good idea. Better to wait and see.

About the domain :

Before setting up his own business in 2002, Daniel Laffite spent 15 years working for a large estate that had been organically farmed since 1972. He then bought part of the property and set up his own winery. Today, he manages 17 ha with his wife Cathy.

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 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 wine:

Les Salines is a plot-based Maury featuring full-bodied Grenache and notes of blackberry and candied strawberry. Well-balanced and appetizing on the palate.

About the domain :

Domaine des Soulanes was created in 2002 by Cathy and Daniel Laffite, in the Maury area. The couple had previously worked these same terroirs for over ten years, alongside the previous owner, before acquiring part of the property. The vineyards lie at the foot of the rocky peaks dominated by Château de Queribus. The estate's wines express themselves in a fleshy yet fair, energetic and intense style.
