Minervois "L’O de La Vie"

Named "L’O de La Vie," this wine originates from a young Syrah vine flourishing on the slopes of the Ruisseau de la Vie (Rec del Vie in the Occitan language). Here, the purity of the Syrah grape intertwines with the unique terroir, unveiling an elegant personality. This wine, crystalclear in its essence, is cultivated on clay-limestone soils across 2 hectares of land, exclusively dedicated to Syrah vines aged merely 4 years.

Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo vinification following the esteemed Burgundian tradition, followed by gentle aging in stainless steel vats. The result is a wine that captivates with its clarity, vibrancy, and refreshing allure, epitomizing the harmonious marriage between grape and terroir.

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.
