- LANGUEDOC WINES AOC SELECTION -
EXPRESSIVE,SPICY & RICH
Geneviève and Guy Coste-Libes, Maison LamartinePartner's, run this long-held, family owned estate in the village of Cabrerolles in the north of the Faugères appellation.
It’s named after the huge crater of a meteor which punctures the vineyards; and most of the wines are named after meteor showers.
Two local factors mark all the wines: first all the family’s 23 hectares of vines are on schistous soils - and that gives the wines a particular high-toned scent and exciting minerality; and second, the vineyards go up to 350 metres in altitude, and that, combined with cool downdrafts from the plateau to the north, brings freshness to their wines. Syrah in particular benefits from this terroir. The estate has completed its time in conversion to organic viticulture and wines from the 2013 vintage are certified.
