Our take on this vintage

To the eye, this wine displays a deep purple hue. The nose invites you to immerse yourself in deep aromas of blackcurrant, enhanced by fresh, airy notes. On the palate, the wine is lively and lingering, caressed by a silky texture and intense aromatic freshness. It reveals incredibly rich blackcurrant, accompanied by hints of menthol and cocoa, and a finish evoking the chalky limestone of the Minervois. This wine offers a continuous mouthfeel with a subtle chalky texture, creating an extraordinary sensory experience.

Clos du Gravillas

Clos du Gravillas

Languedoc | France

Perched on the high hillsides of Saint-Jean-de-Minervois, in the Minervois region, Clos du Gravillas cultivates a vineyard planted on very stony limestone soils at high elevation. This geological and climatic environment promotes gradual ripening and a naturally taut balance.

The estate cultivates a variety of grape varieties—Carignan, Terret, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Mourvèdre—grown using organic farming methods. The winemaking process is carried out with precision, emphasizing the purity of the fruit and controlled extraction. This approach results in bright wines with a structure characterized by a tension that is unusual for the region.

The wines offer clean, well-structured profiles, combining depth and freshness without heaviness. The entire range from Clos du Gravillas offers a distinctive and consistent interpretation of the Minervois, highlighting the altitude, the nature of the soils, and a constant quest for balance.
