Vin de France Un R de Ch'nin Le Clos de la Barthassade 2024

These two thirty-somethings arrived in Languedoc in 2013 after having studied in Burgundy, at Domaine de la Pousse d'Or and Sylvain Pataille, and Provence, at Domaine de Trévallon. They settled in les Terrasses du Larzac, where they strive to make fine wines that are both fresh and moorish.
Clos de la Barthassade stretches over 14 hectares and the vines are separated into blocks. Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache Noir, Cinsault, old Carignan Noir, Chenin Blanc and even Chardonnay all grow here. To amplify the unique soils found on the property, Hélène and Guillaume follow organic practices. Vinification is as natural as possible and they only use natural yeasts and no added sulphur to make the wine. Extraction is gentle, and the reds are ideally vinified using whole bunches. The white wines are vinified ‘in the Burgundian style’.
The results speaks for themselves! The wines display unrivalled balance and freshness, raising the standard of the entire appellation. Since their first vintage in 2014, a significant number of wines lovers have fallen in love with their unique wines.
