Dégustation : La robe est pourpre sombre, mais tout de même translucide. Le nez est fin, frais, aérien, faussement léger. Il est même d'une profondeur abyssale dans laquelle le dégustateur a envie de plonger. Ce qui l'attire : un cassis fin et subtil doublé d'une sublime "barralienne" volatile. Un tout petit peu de Ronce, aussi. Et d'âtre froid de cheminée. La bouche est élancée, tonique, étirée par cette même sublime volatile – qui devient ici arachnéenne, impalpable – tout en déroulant grâce à une matière soyeuse, caressante, d'une intense fraîcheur aromatique, sur une quintessence de cassis. Mais un cassis comme vous ne pouvez pas imaginer. Même dans vos rêves les plus fous, il est moins bon. La finale réussi et à ne pas rompre le charme, se contentant de concentrer les saveurs et les sensations, et d'ajouter une subtile mâche crayeuse qui vous emmène dans le causse calcaire du Minervois. Et puis, forcément, une explosion de cassis pour finir, soulignée par le menthol, une pointe de cacao, et un retour sur la craie.

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.
