This wine, made entirely from Carignan grapes, is the result of meticulous care, from winter pruning of the vines to the hand-harvest. Fermented with native yeasts, this wine then undergoes a 27-day maceration in concrete tanks, accompanied by regular punching down and pumping over. Aging in 4-year-old barrels for 10 months, without filtration, allows the grape’s character to fully shine through. Hand-bottling is a testament to exceptional artisanal care.

Sabots d'Hélène
In the wild reaches of the Corbières, Les Sabots d'Hélène crafts cuvées where the ruggedness of the landscape blends with a quest for purity. The parcels, cultivated with minimal inputs, yield free-run juices that are sometimes slightly raw, yet consistently driven by forthright fruit and a supple texture. Carignan and Grenache express themselves here with a juicy, almost tactile profile, exhibiting unexpected freshness for this high-altitude area. Minimal aging allows for a direct, unadorned aromatic expression. These are sincere, vibrant wines that tell the story of an uncompromising territory.
