This wine is made from the noble Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape varieties, blended with fresh Chenin juice. Grown organically on high-altitude clay-limestone terroirs in the Upper Aude Valley, it guarantees uncompromising quality. Hand-harvested to preserve the integrity of the grapes, it undergoes careful sulfite-free vinification, followed by aging in 10-year-old demi-muid barrels that impart richness and depth, before bottle aging that ensures its elegance.

Jean-Louis Denois
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.
