Retour de Milan, White 2023
Fond Cyprès
With Retour de Milan, Fond Cyprès unveils a brilliant and unprecedented interpretation of Muscat Petit Grain, vinified as a macerated white. This organic orange wine from Languedoc, as elegant as it is expressive, breaks new ground to offer a unique, fresh, and gourmet sensory experience.
A subtle maceration
Here, whole Muscat grapes are macerated for a few days to provide texture and complexity without losing the delicacy of the varietal. Fermentation is spontaneous, using indigenous yeasts, without oenological additives, followed by 5 months of aging in concrete egg, which promotes the wine's natural movement and gentle contact with the lees. The result: a lively, textured juice, yet with exemplary freshness.
A luminous and aromatic orange wine
The nose is vibrant, with notes of bergamot, citrus zest, orange blossom, and fresh lychee. On the palate, the wine balances tension and sweetness, with very fine tannins and a delicately bitter finish that prolongs the pleasure. It is a digestible, chiseled orange wine, both floral and citrusy.
Bold pairings, immediate pleasure
Serve between 10 and 12 °C, without decanting. This wine pairs ideally with Asian cuisines (mild spices, Thai curry, sashimi), aged cheeses (blue cheese, long-aged tommes) or even a lightly sweetened fruit dessert. It can age in the cellar for 5 to 10 years.

Le Blanc des Garennes, White 2024
Fond Cyprès
Nestled in the heart of Languedoc, the Fond Cyprès estate unveils with Le Blanc des Garennes 2024 a natural white wine of great finesse. This blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Viognier embodies the balance between freshness, creaminess, and aromatic expression of the South, all while adhering to the principles of committed organic viticulture.
Controlled aging for a silky texture
The grapes, grown on clay-limestone soils, are pressed directly after harvest, without maceration. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, without inputs, then the wine is aged for five months in multi-vintage barrels to round out the texture without imbuing the aromatic profile with wood. The result: a cuvée that is both fresh and full-bodied, with a caressing texture.
A floral nose, a generous palate
Upon tasting, Le Blanc des Garennes entices with its delicate aromas of white flowers, peach, and yellow fruits. On the palate, the wine is both supple and taut, with a slightly saline undertone and a beautiful persistence. It combines volume and vivacity, without ever becoming heavy.
Pairings and sharing moments
Served between 10 and 12 °C, this natural wine pairs wonderfully with shellfish, white meats, sunny herb-infused dishes, or even Italian or Mediterranean cuisine. It can be enjoyed in its youth but will gain complexity over 5 to 10 years. A gastronomic, accessible, and refined cuvée.
Rodolphe Ourliac and Laetitia Gianesini
Where?
In 1998, in the heart of the Corbières appellation, between Lézignan and Escales, Rodolphe and Laetitia purchased eighteen hectares of plots that would form the core of their Fond Cyprès estate. Even before planting their first vine, these locals, both descendants of winegrowers, already had a clear vision: "to produce southern wines that reflect our style, wines with character, rooted in our soils, but with freshness and refined tannins." They wanted to create concentrated terroir wines, entirely natural wines. They began by developing the terraces to plant vines: six years of work to create a winery that lived up to their dreams. The estate's conversion to organic farming began in 2004, and the first organic harvest was in 2010, at the same time as they began practicing natural winemaking. To achieve this, they received the help and expertise of Frédéric Cossard, their friend from Burgundy, also featured in the Culinaries catalog. Far from seeing natural wine as a bohemian market, they see it as the future of viticulture. The fact that Michelin-starred chefs praise their wines fuels this confidence.
Terroir and Soils
The formation of the Pyrenees significantly altered the soils of the old Corbières massif and the wine appellation that bears its name, transforming it into a mosaic of clay, limestone, sandstone, schist, and gravel terroirs. Around Lézignan, Quaternary detrital terraces dominate: stony scrubland, clay-limestone, and clay-gravel soils; true wine terroirs from which Fond Cyprès draws its quintessence. The dry Mediterranean climate is tempered by vegetation (trees and hedges) around the plots, preserving the freshness of the soil.
Plots and Grape Varieties
The first plots purchased were already planted with abandoned Carignan and Grenache, which had not seen any fertilizer or pesticides for years: these clean, vibrant soils were ideal conditions for embarking on natural winemaking. Around this historic heart of the estate, Syrah and Grenache Noir were planted. Finally, a final plot was planted with white grape varieties: Viognier, Grenache Blanc, and Roussanne.
Growing Methods
Since 2010, the estate has been certified organic (Ecocert, Nature et Progrès). Rodolphe and Laetitia like to point out that their example has convinced their neighbors to go organic as well. The vines are bordered by hedges of various plant species (iris, broom, pyracantha, bay laurel). The terraced vines are demarcated by low stone walls. Three-quarters of the harvest is carried out manually, in crates.
Vinification
Vinification is carried out without exogenous yeasts or added sulfites. Rodolphe and Laetitia select the finest grapes, destem them by hand, and ferment or press them. With the "pied de cuve" obtained by spontaneous fermentation, they inoculate the following vats. Careful cleaning of the vats and temperature control prevent the proliferation of bacteria. Extractions are gentle, and often, to soften the tannins, Bordeaux or Burgundy barrels with several wines are used for aging for nine to ten months. No filtration is performed.
The Wines
"We make wines for pleasure," say Laetitia and Rodolphe. For them, natural wine is first assessed by taste, from the harvest: the musts are fruitier, more fluid, more complex. The names of the vintages are simple: grape variety, appellation or color, plot; sometimes a little lyricism ("Cyprès de toi"), always in moderation. The vintages follow the plots very closely: The Grenache du bois Saint-Jaume, from sixty-year-old vines, restores in its velvety texture the aromas of garrigue present in the plot. The Carignan de la source, also from old vines, offers aromatic notes of linden and red fruits. The Syrah de la pinède expresses the freshness of young fifteen-year-old Syrahs surrounded by pines and cypresses, with aromas of black olive. Finally, the Corbières is a blend of the three. As for the Blanc des garennes, it is an atypical white from the South, rich and deep, which brings together the three white grape varieties planted in the youngest plot, harvested at the same time at different ripenesses.
