Originally from Bordeaux and Burgundy, Agathe Dalisson and Amaury Coste met in Kabul, Afghanistan, but it was in Languedoc, in Pézenas, that they decided to put down their bags to live to the rhythm of nature, of the vines and wine.
Their vineyard is spread over several plots around the villages of Pézenas, Caux, Gabian and Néffiès, on the first foothills of the southern Cévennes which benefit from a great diversity of soils (clay-limestone, schist, grave villafranchiens, basalts), 'exhibitions and grape varieties. Preserving ecosystems (hedges, groves, embankments, etc.) helps protect biodiversity and stimulates the natural defenses of the vine.
A lot of care and requirement are taken in the cultivation of the vines (organic methods, Ecocert certified estate since 2011) with constant respect for the environment and the land, without chemicals or insecticides. The use of natural organic fertilizers, mechanical weeding and manual disbudding make it possible to limit yields and obtain perfect sanitary conditions with concentrated fruits of good maturity.
The harvest is manual, with phenolic maturity. Here, preference is given to slow infusion rather than too heavy an extraction. The aging is gentle, in vats, in barrels (Burgundian pieces or demi-muids of several wines and, recently, in sandstone amphorae) in order to express the freshness, finesse and typicity of the different terroirs. This is how the midday sun and the freshness of the north winds are found in their wines.
We immediately take great pleasure in this wine, whose crunchiness of the fruit is highly appreciated. Its accessibility and exuberance make it an eye-catching wine.
Powerful, fruity and spicy. Notes of black cherry, blueberry, liquorice and camphor.Controlled power and freshness!
A gourmet wine, elegant and refined, which combines floral notes and minerality.
La Revue du Vin de France: "With its pure and fruity style, it embodies the red Languedoc as we expect it to be and as winegrowers now understand their reds: balanced and fresh. 92/100" (RVF, N°657, February 2022)
On the nose, powerful notes of empyreumatic, ripe fruit and tar. A little ageing will soften it and magnify its elegance.
