Our tasting notes: Ruby colour with violet hues. Nose of violets, red fruits and garrigue spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and true to the nose. Silky tannins dominate a mellow and balanced finish.

If there is one region synonymous with authenticity, it is Larzac. Rural traditions and peasant customs remain deeply ingrained, alongside an architectural heritage featuring unspoilt villages straight out of the Templar era, such as La Couvertoirade, as well as the local cuisine and famous specialities like Roquefort, the importance of hunting, the exclusively artisanal nature of local activity, the character of the many festivities, or even the struggles and protests often tinged with Occitanism and symbols of local identity and authenticity that have marked its recent history… These are all elements that contribute to building the myth of a land of true authenticity.
