- LANGUEDOC WINES AOC SELECTION -
EXPRESSIVE,SPICY & RICH
Geneviève and Guy Coste-Libes, members of Maison Lamartine's club of independent producers, run this long-held, family owned estate in the village of Cabrerolles, located in the north of the Faugères appellation.
The name comes from the impact of a meteor some 10,000 years ago, which created a huge crater where their vineyard lies today; Most of the wines are named after meteor showers.
Two local factors mark all their wines: first all, the family’s 23 hectares are located on schistous soils - and that gives these wines a particular high-toned scent and exciting minerality; and second, the vineyard slopes upward 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. Furthermore, the estate has completed its transformation to organic viticulture, and wines starting with the 2013 vintage are now certified.
