Welcome to L'Oustal Blanc, one of the most beautiful terroirs in the Languedoc! A domain so fragmented that sometimes the neighbours harvest some of our parcels. But we are not resentful because what motivates us and makes us vibrate is of course to produce our wine, but especially to share it. And this sharing, we try to establish it in each of our plots, without forgetting our favorite: a plot of old grenache.
Anecdotes about the domain
Our passion for music is reflected in our wines. We try to mix opera and wine making, as we are convinced of the common voluptuousness of these two arts. Therefore, our Giocoso cuvée is named after a musical term meaning joyful and lively, in the image of this vigorous wine. Vinified without any green matter, our wines are of unparalleled precision. What transports us in the world of wine is the prospect of harvesting, sharing and meeting people in the world of wine, and we hope to be able to transmit this to you by inviting you to discover our wines. For Isabel, nothing predestined her to become a winemaker, except a picture of her at 13 years old in Bissau, Africa, where she was already proudly wearing earrings shaped like bunches of grapes. Fate as they say! Different wine origins therefore, but common decisive encounters such as those with Bruno Quenioux, a great chef sommelier who passionately transmits his love for wine, or with Jean-Pierre Boisson (if this is not a predestined name), president of the rugby club at Château-Neuf-Du-Pape.
The domain's short story
The adventure began when Claude sold his estate in the Côtes du Ventoux (Château Valcombe) to relocate to his native Languedoc. As a tribute to her, who allowed us to realize our dreams and ourselves, we named the Maison Blanche estate in Occitan: "L'Oustal Blanc". Our dream is realized every day: to make wine in a cellar dating back to 1907, to find plots of old vines of more than 60 years in autochthonous grape varieties (black grenache, grey grenache, carignan and cinsault). Our common passion comes from different sources. For Claude, it was his grandfather, already a winemaker in the Languedoc region, who passed on to him the gift of Bacchus. For Isabel, nothing predestined her to become a winegrower, except a picture of her at 13 years old in Bissau, Africa, where she was already proudly wearing earrings in the shape of bunches of grapes. Fate as they say! Different wine origins, but decisive encounters in common, such as those with Bruno Quenioux, a great chef sommelier who passionately transmits his love for wine, or with Jean-Pierre Boisson (if that's not a predestined name), president of the Château-Neuf-Du-Pape rugby club.Our dream, realized every day: to make wine in a cellar dating back to 1907, to find plots of old vines of more than 60 years in autochthonous grape varieties (black grenache, grey grenache, carignan and cinsault).
