The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Guided by Olivier Jullien of Mas Jullien, Jean-Baptiste Granier has been at the helm for over 15 years at Les Vignes Oubliées, located in the Terrasses du Larzac. His high-altitude vineyards in the Saint-Privat area, resting on schist and sandstone, yield exceptional grapes; the resulting wines are a stunning display of strength and elegance.

These pure and profound cuvées, produced in small quantities, are treasured by the most discerning wine enthusiasts and have earned a 2-star rating from the RVF Guide.
Wine Originating from a high-altitude terroir of sandstone and schist, nurtured by its old vines, the 2022 white Languedoc combines white grenache and carignan with clairette and a touch of roussanne. Vinified in large wooden vats and concrete tanks, it delivers a juicy and fresh fruitiness that is both rich and balanced, featuring notes of white flowers, ripe fruits, and citrus. An aniseed hint and a finish that leans on bitter notes enhance the tonic vibe of this plump and vigorous white, making it absolutely perfect.
Vinification Hand-picked, sorted in the vineyard and cellar. Pneumatic pressing and temperature control. Aged in demi-muid and concrete eggs.
