Our take on this vintage

Discover a wine with a deep purple hue and a dazzling nose, where blackcurrant blends harmoniously with notes of cedar. On the palate, it is a true symphony: a velvety, silky texture paired with vibrant freshness. Aromas of blackcurrant and menthol are perfectly highlighted, culminating in a lively and lingering finish. A delicate note of cocoa and pepper enhances this complex bouquet. This is a wine to savor with rare red meats to reveal its full aromatic potential.

Languedoc | France

After gaining experience with traditional Champagne winemaking methods, Jean-Louis Denois identified certain hillsides in the Languedoc as having conditions favorable to the cultivation of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The altitude, exposure, and soil composition here provide an ideal setting for these grape varieties—rarely associated with the region—to flourish.

The winemaking process emphasizes a restrained approach, focusing on freshness and aromatic precision rather than sheer power. The white wines retain a distinct liveliness, underpinned by subtle mineral notes, while the reds are crafted through gentle extraction, resulting in fine, well-integrated tannins.

The winemaking process remains understated and tailored to each vintage, with the aim of supporting the wine without dictating its character. The collection offers a balanced and coherent expression of these Languedoc terroirs, emphasizing precision and clarity rather than a showy interpretation.
