A sun-baked amphitheatre of limestone in the rugged Languedoc. La Ciaude is the flagship statement. It is a masterful, old-vine blend of Carignan, Syrah, and Grenache that entirely redefines what southern French wine can be. This is a spectacular, intellectual bottle to pour alongside slow-roasted rosemary lamb or a rich duck confit. It drinks beautifully now after a short decant. L&S (May 2026)

Domaine Anne Gros et Jean-Paul Tollot
Anne Gros and Jean-Paul Tollot (Domaine Tollot-Beaut) have taken over some wonderful vineyards in the Minervois, and brought Burgundian savoir-faire to an area which all too often produces sweet or leaden-footed lumpen wines. These wines have a style of lively freshness which is so uncommon anywhere in Languedoc-Roussillon. We were bowled over by their drinkability, and feel they offer so much in terms of character and flavour, while remaining easy to approach, mineral and light of touch.
