Clos Maia Rouge Terrasses du Larzac

Geraldine Laval has 5.4 hectares ( 4ha to red & 1.4ha to white ) in the Terrasses du Larzac appellation which she maintains without any chemical treatments in order to obtain an organic certification. She believes in making wine with as little winemaker intervention as possible. We like to say her wines are natural but very stable....delicious too!

Her top red almost entirely Grenache, with smaller amounts of other native grapes, and all of the grapes are organically farmed and 65+ years old. In a good year, about 5,000 bottles (400 cases) are produced, and trust me, this is a good year. Deep, earthy, and mysterious, this needs a good 60 to 120 minutes in a decanter before it begins to uncoil. Once it opens up, you'd swear you were drinking the best Chateauneuf on the planet, but you'd be paying a lot less. - Josh
