This wine harmoniously blends Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Grenache from vineyards with yields limited to 20 hl/ha.

Finishing in tanks and in the bottle ensures optimal maturation and a silky texture on the palate. This exceptional craftsmanship reveals the full authenticity of the Carboniferous and Villafranchian terroirs.

Our Review of the Cuvée

On the nose, this wine reveals intense aromas of ripe black fruit intertwined with spicy and subtly oaky nuances. On the palate, it unfolds with enveloping richness, revealing concentrated flavors of blackberry and black pepper, enhanced by notes of licorice and forest floor. The texture is silky, offering a beautiful roundness, while fine tannins provide a solid structure. The finish is long and elegant, marked by a pleasant freshness. Perfect for pairing with sophisticated dishes such as a lamb fillet or a red mullet fillet.

Domaine Le Conte Des Floris

Languedoc | France

Daniel Le Conte des Floris cultivates Grenache, Carignan, and Terret on rare basalt soils in Languedoc. His wines possess a distinctive character: precise fruit, sustained tension, and delicate tannins. Aging in demi-muids refines the texture without weighing the wine down. His wines often come across as more elegant than those from the rest of Pézenas, with a finesse that is surprising for the region.
