Domaine Jean-Baptiste Sénat, at the heart of the Minervois AOC, covers some fifteen hectares. The running of the family business was taken over by Jean-Baptiste and his wife Charlotte in 1996, despite having had no plans to follow this path… proof that a qualification in politics can take you anywhere! The property they inherited is very rich in wine terms, with many old vines (some more than a hundred years old). They cultivate their vineyard organically, work their soils, de-earth under the vines, etc. The intention is to produce "vins de terroir" which are well made and full of fruit. This domain has risen to become one of the most emblematic and sought after in Languedoc.

This is a gourmet wine par excellence. Crisp, juicy and fruity, it still manages to retain the essential character of its native terroir. This takes the form of a sunny character, discernible via touches of ripe fruit and sweet spices. Designed to be enjoyed in its youth, it will combine well with cocktail aperitifs or grilled food.
