Mentored by Olivier Jullien of Mas Jullien, Jean-Baptiste Granier has been working for nearly 20 years in the Terrasses du Larzac, crafting wines under his estate, Les Vignes Oubliées. His high-altitude plots in the Saint-Privat area, rooted in schist and sandstone soils, produce outstanding grapes—and the resulting wines are nothing short of breathtaking in their power and finesse.

These are pure, deep wines made in small quantities, beloved by serious wine lovers and awarded two stars in the French wine guide RVF.
