About the winemaker
"After reading the book 'The Ignorants', I decided to drastically change my life. I quit my corporate job and decided to start making wine. Initially at well-known houses, but later I found the perfect terroir in the beautiful Terasse du Larzac. Here, I focus on wines that combine elegance and drinking pleasure."

Terrasses du larzac, France
Nestled among the impressive hills of the Hérault Valley lies Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, one of the most beautiful villages in France. The medieval town grew up around the Abbaye de Gellone, an abbey founded at the beginning of the 9th century by Guilhem of Gellone, a nobleman and later a monk who gave his name to the village. Thanks to its location on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert grew into an important religious and cultural center. Today, the village is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and attracts visitors from all over the world. Viticulture in this region has a history that goes back even further. Grapes were cultivated here as early as Roman times, while the monks of the abbeys of Aniane and Gellone played an important role in the development of the local wine culture from the early Middle Ages onwards. For centuries, viticulture formed an essential part of life in the valleys and on the slopes around Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert. Today, the area falls under the IGP Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, located in the north of the Hérault at the foot of the Larzac plateau. The landscape is characterized by small vineyard plots on hills, surrounded by pristine nature. The Mediterranean climate ensures warm, dry summers, while the variations in altitude and cooling influences from the surrounding valleys contribute to freshness and elegance in the wines. The soils vary from limestone and clay to schist, adding extra complexity. Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert is therefore much more than a picturesque village. It is a place where more than a thousand years of history, spectacular nature, and a rich wine tradition come together in wines that offer a taste of the finest part of the Languedoc in its most elegant form.
