Clos Du Gravillas
Sous les cailloux des grillons 2023
Côtes du Brian | Rouge | 2023
This wine is a fine blend of eight grape varieties, predominantly Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from vines located at an altitude of 300 meters on a clay-limestone terroir. Manual harvesting and rigorous sorting ensure optimal quality, while vinification involving destemming and light crushing, followed by a short maceration, preserves the authenticity of the grapes. A seven-month aging period in stainless steel tanks refines the wine, resulting in a harmonious and well-structured product.

Our Review of the Cuvée
This wine presents a translucent dark purple hue, followed by a discreet nose that gradually reveals a blackberry coulis supported by subtle lacteous and spicy notes. On the palate, the sensation is round and ample, almost velvety, enriched by firm tannins that promise to soften with patience. The texture is dense, with ripe fruit that immediately captures attention. The finish is a crescendo of concentration, leaving a signature of dark fruits, sweet spices, and a hint of cocoa, punctuated by a persistent freshness.

Clos Du Gravillas
Languedoc | France
On the upper slopes of Saint-Jean-de-Minervois, within the Minervois region, Clos du Gravillas cultivates a vineyard established on very stony, calcareous soils, situated at high altitudes. This geological and climatic context promotes gradual maturation and naturally taut balances.
The estate cultivates a diversity of grape varieties—Carignan, Terret, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Mourvèdre—managed under organic agriculture. Vinification processes are conducted with precision, prioritizing fruit purity and measured extractions. This approach yields luminous wines, structured by a tension uncommon for the region.
The cuvées exhibit digestible and vertical profiles, combining depth and freshness without heaviness. The overall work of Clos du Gravillas offers a unique and coherent interpretation of the Minervois terroir, highlighting altitude, soil composition, and a constant pursuit of balance.
