8 grape varieties: 40 % Syrah, 30 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 % Cinsault, 20 % Carignan, Grenache, Counoise, Terret Noir and Mourvèdre
SOL: very clay-limestone stony - 300 m altitude
Harvest: by hand in cagettes 15 kg - sorting the vine to keep only healthy grapes and walls
Vinification: Eraflage and light stagger at feet - Short maceration and 7 months of stainless steel breeding
We planted in 2000, the vines of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre and Counoise on the highest terroir of St Jean de Minervois. It is an isolated plot, surrounded by green oaks and garrigue covered with white pebbles.
The grapes of Cinsault, Carignan, Grenache and Black Terret come from old vines on the Cazelles plateau
Its name "under the scabs of the crickets" comes from the presence of many crickets in this altitude vine. On the other hand, not a single cicada, it may be too fresh!
Tasting: The dress is a translucent dark purple. The nose is rather discreet, on the blackberry coulis and slatted and spicy notes. The mouth is round, ample, velvety, with a dense material, with firm tannins which require to blend, while offering a fairly irresistible extraverted fruit. The finish is still gaining concentration, with more fruit and freshness, on the black fruit coulis, sweet spices and cocoa.

What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
