The Languedoc is in Christophe's blood. He grew up in the Larzac as the son of Jean-Claude, a struggling winegrower and beloved (yet feared) founder and long-time president of AOC Coteaux-du-Languedoc. Christophe, despite having been chairman of the La Clape winemakers for 15 years, remained the son of. But now, 20 years after his father's retirement, he himself was elected president of CIVL Languedoc in 2022: a dog's job in a hornet's nest full of gossip, scheming, jealousy, and conflicting interests. But he does it, called upon as an enfant du pays to unite and defend the region.

Pairs well with: Confit de canard, wild boar and venison, stew, aged hard cheeses.
Fun fact: Ready to drink now, but also definitely worth keeping for another 7 years after the harvest.
