Pays d'Hérault Clos Maia Le Petit Clos 2011
The wine
Le Petit Clos is a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan cultivated to organic standards (but not currently certified as such). They undergo alcoholic fermentation in whole bunches, and are then lightly extracted in concrete tanks. The wine is matured for 12 months in concrete tanks. It reveals itself through fresh, fruity notes. The tannins are refined; this is a thirst-quenching wine, to be drunk young and fruity.
Having learned her craft with Olivier Leflaive in 2003 in Puligny–Montrachet and then Julien Zernott, a regionally recognised figure from the Domaine du Pas de l'Escalette, Géraldine Laval set up her base on the Terrasses du Larzac in 2009, grouping together several hevtares of Grenache.
She carefully maintains her six-hectare vineyard without chemical treatments, intending to obtain organic certification. The same is true in the cellars, where she conducts vinification with as little intervention as possible. In her vineyards, she grows Grenache as well as a real range of other grape varieties: Terret, Syrah, Grenache Noir, Roussanne, Terret-Bourret, Grenache Gris and Chenin Blanc.
Her hard work results in highly refined wines which reflect their terroir, consisting of Languedoc grape varieties and limestone-clay soils.
