Our Review of the Cuvée
Métisse first captivates with its color, somewhere between raspberry and ruby, reminiscent of a translucent gemstone. On the nose, it reveals complex aromas of morello cherry and raspberry, accompanied by peony, spices, and a subtle toasty note. On the palate, it reveals a rich, enveloping texture where finesse and intensity blend harmoniously. The light carbonation brings a lively freshness, accentuated by a fruity, vibrant finish bursting with raspberry and tart morello cherry. A tasting experience to be savored to the fullest.

Languedoc | France
Originally from Burgundy, Maxime Magnon settled in 2002 in the wild and rugged landscape of the Hautes Corbières, south of Corbières. There, between Villeneuve-les-Corbières, Durban, and Cascastel, he has made a forgotten terroir his own, breathing new life into ancient plots of century-old vines and establishing himself as one of the most exciting figures in the Languedoc’s renaissance.
The estate now covers some fifteen hectares planted on high-altitude soilscomposed of clay, schist, and limestone, which lend the grapes depth, finesse, and minerality. The vineyards are managed with a deep respect for life: certified organic farming, manual work in the plots, and even the integration of animals (sheep, cows) that graze in the winter to naturally enrich the microbial life of the soil.
