June · La Floraison

Every bottle starts as a flower on a vine planted in the 1980s. Scroll to follow one vintage.

July · La Nouaison

The fruit sets

Flowers turn into hard green berries. The Mediterranean sun and constant wind keep the fruit naturally healthy.

August · La Véraison

Green berries blush, then darken to purple-black. Sugar rises, acidity softens, the leaves start to turn.

September · Les Vendanges

Syrah, Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre from the schist terraces of Latour-de-France and Tautavel.

Harvest week · Le Pressurage

Pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in conical concrete vats. Nothing added to start it.

6–12 months · L'Élevage

The young wine runs into the barrel and the bung goes in. It rests in conical wood vats and Stockinger barrels before the final blend.

Spring · La Mise en bouteille

The blend is drawn off through the tap, bottle by bottle, then corked.

AOP Languedoc · 2021

A tribute cuvée. Stewed dark fruit, spice, praline and vanilla, with tannins that bring roundness and length.

Red · AOP Languedoc

Pour mon Père comes from vines set high in the Agly valley at 300 m, on stony brown schist at Latour-de-France and black schist at Tautavel.
