The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Guided by Olivier Jullien (Mas Jullien), Jean-Baptiste Granier has been crafting exceptional wines for over 15 years in Terrasses du Larzac at his estate, Les Vignes Oubliées. His high-altitude parcels in the Saint-Privat area, set on schist and sandstone, produce outstanding grapes; the resulting wines are astonishing in both power and elegance.

These pure and profound cuvées, produced in small quantities, are cherished by the most discerning enthusiasts and have been awarded 2 stars in the RVF Guide.
Wine The 2023 red Languedoc Autour du Cinsault is an exceptional success with immediate charm. From the first sip, notes of red and black fruits, peony, pepper, and a hint of smoke delight the senses. This fresh wine, with its finely textured elegance, offers impressive volume in a silky, refined, and delicious style that is already very approachable. Superb! Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee.
