Languedoc Domaine Les Eminades

Our committee's review

Tucked away in a stunning landscape of garrigue and truffle oaks, Domaine Les Éminades is one of Saint-Chinian’s true hidden gems—a rock-solid reference point in the region. On this wild, sun-drenched land, Patricia and Luc Bettoni craft their wines like artists, working biodynamically to shape deep, delicate creations with pinpoint precision.

Their vineyard—rooted in limestone, sandstone, and rolled pebbles, and planted with old vines—produces some of the brightest stars of the southern Mediterranean. These are wines that are vibrant, complex, and irresistibly generous, always putting the fruit front and center. No surprise they’ve earned a star in the French wine guide RVF.

Treat yourself to these two standout wines from one of Languedoc’s most consistent and talented estates. Always spot-on, always a pleasure.

The 2021 red Saint-Chinian Sortilège unveils itself with finesse and a delicate fruitiness. Aromas of rose, spices, potpourri, and flowers mark both the nose and the palate, creating a complex and voluptuous texture! A truly elegant red wine, best enjoyed in good company with poultry. A favorite of the Committee, rated 93/100.

A beautiful take on Sauvignon Blanc, the 2023 IGP Coteaux de Fontcaude Silice White is crisp, vibrant, and spot-on. Bursting with notes of ripe stone fruit and citrus, it’s a fresh, precise expression that captures the grape’s charm with southern flair. This is Languedoc Sauvignon at its best—perfectly ripe, lifted by the natural freshness of its terroir, and aged with a light touch that lets the fruit do all the talking. Nicolas Sanson, our Languedoc buyer, fell head over heels for it. His top pick of the vintage, rated 94/100.

A leading estate in Saint-Chinian that you must discover through these two favorite cuvées!
