A wine crafted from the noble grape varieties Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, blended with fresh Chenin juice. Organically cultivated on high-altitude clay-limestone terroirs in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, it guarantees uncompromising quality. Harvested manually to preserve grape integrity, it undergoes meticulous sulfite-free vinification, followed by aging in 10-year-old demi-muid barrels, which imparts richness and depth, before bottle maturation ensures its elegance.

Jean-Louis Denois
Following extensive experience with Champagne methods, Jean-Louis Denois identified favorable conditions for cultivating Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in certain Languedoc hillsides. Altitude, aspect, and soil composition here provide an ideal environment for the expression of these grape varieties, which are rarely associated with the region.
Vinification favors a measured approach, focusing on freshness and aromatic precision rather than pursuing power. White wines retain a distinct tension, supported by subtle mineral expressions, while reds are crafted with gentle extractions, yielding fine and well-integrated tannins.
Aging processes remain restrained and tailored to each cuvée, aiming to support the wine without dictating its profile. Overall, this offers a balanced and coherent interpretation of these Languedoc terroirs, emphasizing accuracy and clarity rather than a demonstrative approach.
