List of products by manufacturer Les Vignes Oubliées

Jean-Baptiste Granier started the Vignes Oubliées project with Olivier Jullien. The approach is as singular as it is meritorious: it was born of the desire to preserve old plots of land condemned by the cooperative economic logic, now cultivated in partnership with their owners.
In this very dynamic area, this estate is constantly growing.



Jean-Baptiste Granier, a young agricultural engineer, started the Vignes Oubliées project with Olivier Jullien.


With a father, an uncle and a grandfather in the wine business (Mas Montel near Sommières), Jean-Baptiste could have wanted to turn his back on this world. On the contrary. "My father Jean-Philippe passed on his passion to me. I was just wondering where I could settle down".
It was not easy to find a place to settle in the area and Jean-Baptiste solved the problem by setting up his cellar and his breeding cellar in the middle of nature in an unusual place. At the end of a small chaotic path, a solid gate protects... a cave! "It used to house an olive oil press. The humidity level is excellent and it is 12°C all year round". Under a rocky dome carved by erosion, the pyramid of barrels climbs to the ceiling.


The initial approach was as singular as it was meritorious: it was born of the desire to preserve old plots of land in the commune of Saint-Privat (a part of the world like the Languedoc has so many) condemned by the economic logic of the cooperative, now cultivated in partnership with their owners.


The wines (Terrasses-du-larzac AOP) have asserted themselves, since the beginning in 2007, as neat and expressive wines, faithful messengers of the terroir. In a dapper, easy-to-digest style, the cuvée declared in the Languedoc is a pure delight. Based on clairette, the white is skilfully framed by the wood ageing. In this very dynamic area, this estate is constantly progressing.
