Clos de la Garriguette

Halfway between the Cévennes and Provence, Clos de la Garriguette cultivates ten hectares of vines in Uzès, in the Gard, in the Languedoc region. The vineyard combines Syrah, Grenache Noir and Blanc, Viognier, Roussanne and Merlot, all cultivated under organic farming. The plots are scattered between forest and garrigue, in a municipality that is home to a natural area of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest.

Exposed to the Mediterranean climate, the vines benefit from the sunshine, winds and rainfall of the Gard. The estate links the personality of its wines to the limestone terroir of the Cévennes as much as to the scents of the surrounding garrigue, drawing on the geology and the plant material of its plots.

Organic farming certification imposes a precise set of specifications, which prohibits in particular fertilizers and chemical products on the vines and on the grapes. This requirement goes hand in hand with a commitment to respect for the environment asserted by the estate, attentive to biodiversity and applied from harvest to winemaking. The work continues in the cellar: the Merlot of the Signature rouge cuvée is vinified in 400-litre demi-muids.

The range brings together red, rosé and white wines, all from organic farming, including La Belle Étoile, La Rose, Le Clos Rouge, Le Clos Blanc and Le Petit Prince. Two cuvées bear the Cévennes IGP mention: the Signature rouge and the Signature vendanges tardives, a white with aromas of mango, apricot, honeyed flowers, thyme and lavender.

The sales cellar is located in Aubussargues, a few minutes from Uzès. There you can discover the cellar and taste the estate's wines, in a spirit of conviviality, sharing and transparency that the winegrowers uphold.
