Les Vignes Oubliées takes root in the Terrasses du Larzac hills of the Languedoc region. In the early 2000s, Jean-Baptiste Granier, a winemaker's son and grandson, set himself the challenge of reviving "forgotten vines" once destined for the local cooperative winery and promised to be grubbed up for lack of sufficient yield. Thanks to the support and friendship of a certain Olivier Jullien of the Mas Jullien estate, he set up his own wine estate in 2007, and the name Les Vignes Oubliées was an obvious choice.

In this superb setting, at an altitude of 350 meters, Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault, as well as Marsanne and Roussanne, cohabit in perfect harmony. The terroir of schist, sandstone andclay-limestone bands offers a diversity that is rare in the Languedoc.

The entire wine estate has been converted to organic farming, with a strong emphasis on biodynamic practices.

In the cellar, too, naturalness takes precedence: maceration is long to obtain good substance and tannins, part of the harvest is left whole-bunched to provide the necessary vegetal freshness, and fermentations are carried out with the yeasts present on the grapes. Ageing varies from 8 to 30 months in barrels and demi-muids, stored in a natural cellar dug into the rock beneath the wine estate.

A Larzac treasure served up by a Terrasses virtuoso!
