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.

Hélène and Guillaume lovingly craft a 100% Chenin cuvée from grapes sourced in the Terrasses du Larzac appellation. Monovarietal Chenin wines are not authorised in the appellation. As a result, the couple produce their cuvée as a Vin de France. The estate follows organic farming practices to preserve the harmonious and essential balance between humans and vines. The harvest is entirely undertaken manually, to preserve the quality of the raw material. Once in the winery, the grapes ferment naturally in wood. Lastly, the cuvée is aged in barrels and demi-muids (big barrels) for eighteen months and bottled without fining or filtration.
The pale bright colour reveals an exquisite bouquet, characterised by ripe pear and melon aromas combined with a subtle touch of hazelnuts. The crunchy full-bodied palate delicately leads to a delicious and lively finish.
