Bottled at 34360 - Saint -Jean de Minervois
Ephemeral cuvée and long awaited by amateurs. The most concentrated and powerful wine in the field.
Very stony clay -limestone soil (altitude 250-300 m) - Manual harvest in 15 kg crate - sorting in the vineyard to keep only healthy and ripe grapes - yield 25 hl/ha.
Production : 3500 bottles.
Tasting: The dress is dark purple, but still translucent. The nose is fine, fresh, airy, falsely light. It is even abyss in which the taster wants to dive. Which attracts him: a fine and subtle blackcurrant doubled with a sublime volatile "Barralian". A little bit of bramble, too. And cold chimney hearth. The mouth is slender, toned, stretched by this same sublime volatile - which becomes Arachnean, intangible here - while unrolling thanks to a silky, caressing material, of an intense aromatic freshness, on a quintessence of blackcurrant. But a blackcurrant like you can't imagine. Even in your wildest dreams, it is less good. The successful final and not to break the charm, contenting itself with concentrating flavors and sensations, and adding a subtle criminal lamb's lettuce that takes you to the limestone of the Minervois. And then, inevitably, an explosion of blackcurrants to finish, underlined by the menthol, a hint of cocoa, and a return to the chalk.

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.
