This wine comes from a small estate in the Languedoc with no more than 5 hectares of vineyard. It was founded by Jean-Emmanuel Parcé and his sister Jeanne in memory of their missing brother, Mathieu. They work on a very small scale and are currently in the process of converting to organic (normal for a young estate). They produce two red wines and one white.

Clear, intense ruby ​​red color. In the nose you recognize ripe red and black fruit, with raspberry, cherry and cassis. In addition, a hint of oak, this wine has matured in barrels for 9 months. You get a wine with medium body, polished tannins and balanced acids. Nice complexity for this price range!
