From a meticulously preserved heritage dating back to 1909, 1.07 hectares of Carignan and Grenache vines flourish in the lieu-dit Les Carrétals. This wine embodies finesse, elegance, length, precision, and energy, traits carefully nurtured through meticulous aging to accentuate their magnificence.
Harvested by hand and meticulously de-stemmed in the esteemed Burgundian fashion, the grapes undergo vinification, followed by aging in 100% oak barrels. The result is a wine of intense depth, characterized by a strikingly deep red hue, cultivated on clay-limestone soils. Les Carrétals stands as a testament to the timeless qualities of Carignan and Grenache, offering a wine of unparalleled complexity, elegance, and longevity.

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.
