In a few words ...
Laurent vaillé is undoubtedly one of the Languedoc's most talented winemakers.

The red is composed of syrah and mourvèdre, complemented by cabernet-sauvignon and a little counoise. The white is composed of roussanne, marsanne, chardonnay and gros manseng.

A nose of leather, a vicitian swiftness that continues to whip once in the mouth. A Languedoc soul that's close to heaven.
