IGP Côtes du Brian "La 50/50"
Crafted with a majority of Grenache, this wine welcomed a youthful Syrah in 2011, complemented by their 35-year-old Carignan vines. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats. The wine embodies finesse, fruitiness, and tension. Sourced from terroirs of sandstone, marl, and clay-limestone, with vines aged 25, 8, and 35 years.
Meticulously harvested by hand, the grapes undergo total de-stemming in the Burgundian style, followed by stainless steel vat ageing, resulting in a wine that is vibrant, fruity, and elegantly structured.

Domaine Anne Gros &
Jean Paul Tollot
Minervois
Renowned Burgundian winemaker Anne Gros, along with her husband Jean-Paul Tollot, embarked on a Languedoc adventure in 2007, acquiring vineyards on clay-limestone and sandstone soils in Cazelles, at the crossroads of Minervois and Saint-Chinian appellations.
Their inaugural vintage in 2008 marked the beginning of a journey that swiftly positioned their estate as a major player in Minervois.
Anne Gros and Jean-Paul Tollot's collaboration brings forth a unique approach, blending their expertise with the terroirs of Languedoc, particularly in the Causse region of Minervois.
With a meticulous focus on vineyard cultivation and grape sensitivity, they craft exceptional cuvées that showcase the distinctiveness of each terroir.
Their estate spans three distinct terroirs: Cote du Brian, Minervois, and Minervois Cazelles. Embracing varietals like Carignan, Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, and Marselan, thriving in clay-limestone, marl, and sandstone soils, Gros and Tollot offer a portfolio boasting cuvées like 50/50, La Ciaude, and Les Combettes, each exuding character and finesse.
