Evolving nose over the glasses, very charming, with notes of apricot, quince, honey, citrus... Round, fruity on the palate, beautifully balanced between fat and tension, the oak is perfectly integrated. Big crush.
Xavier Braujou
Xavier Braujou settled in Aniane back in 1998, just next to the Grange des Pères and Mas Daumas Gassac. Prestigious neighbours indeed, though this strong-armed vigneron certainly needn’t be ashamed of the juice he’s making! He’s been the rising star of this area for some time now. Xavier started out very modestly, farming only a half hectare of vines, and kept his job as a lumberjack until 2008! The man’s a force of nature! The estate is made up of 14 ha, including old vines farmed with organic and biodynamic methods, though he doesn’t seek any certification – in the mind of this passionate artisan winemaker, there’s simply no other way to work! The result has been lauded by all the critics. His cuvées are worthy of as much respect as those of his illustrious neighbours, and also merit being aged wisely in your cellar... So, patience!
A nose with notes of black fruits, thyme, soft spices... Palate: dense and silky, fine and balanced, a full-bodied wine with a long finish, without any heaviness.
A nose with notes of black fruits, thyme, spices and violet... On the palate: a solid, powerful indulgence, a beautifully crafted, fruity Carignan.
Cinsault in its best possible light, a true delicacy, which we really like as a single varietal, and yet so rare! Soft and light palate, a digestible and fruity juice, final on cherry notes.
A nose with notes of red fruit and flowers: cherry, strawberry, rose... Palate: freshness, finesse and balance… A cherry juice with beautiful length, a captivating wine to be enjoyed while listening to Serge Gainsburg’s Variations sur Marilou: “…the cup of giddiness, of Alice by Lewis Carroll…”
A wild nose, with notes of spice, undergrowth, and blond tobacco, jammy black fruit aromas, blackcurrant and Morello cherry. Palate: dense, with beautiful volume and incredible length... PGM stands for Pour Ma Gueule – “For My Mouth”! A wine to sip with a good friend on a winter evening.
