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.

The Chardonnay grapes stem from vines planted on limestone soils near Saint Guiraud, at the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac appellation area. What makes this cuvée special is that the Chardonnay grape is not authorised as a single variety in the appellation. The estate therefore produces this cuvée as a Vin de France. In the vineyard, the winemaking couple follows the principles of sustainable viticulture. After manual harvests, the grapes undergo gentle, low-intervention vinification. Lastly, the cuvée is aged in barrels for twelve months and bottled without fining or filtration.
Glistening with light golden tints, this wine unveils a floral and fruity bouquet, delicately infused with notes of citrus and pear. The elegant palate is perfectly balanced by fruity aromas delicately leading to a fresh, mineral finish. A cuvée to be enjoyed young.
