Vermentino grape variety

The Wine Witch White 2024,

Les Grandes Serres

In the heart of Vaucluse, between Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues and Visan, the Grandes Serres vineyard thrives on deep clay-limestone soils bordered by garrigue. The Wine Witch 2024, a subtle blend of Clairette, Marsanne, and Vermentino, is a generous white, both powerful and balanced, faithful to its terroir.

A bold and natural vinification

The uniqueness of this cuvée lies in a 24-hour maceration of the Vermentino grapes before pressing, providing structure and depth. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel vats preserves the purity of the fruit, while partial aging in barrels (10% of the Marsanne) enriches the texture. Like all the house wines, The Wine Witch is unfiltered, with a light addition of sulfites to stabilize the whole.

A charming nose and a full palate

The nose opens with notes of ripe, even exotic fruits, accompanied by slightly buttery nuances. On the palate, the attack is supple and round, revealing a remarkable amplitude, carried by a rich and balanced structure. The finish is long, with a beautiful aromatic persistence.

What to enjoy with this bottle?

Served around 10-12°C, this racy white wine goes wonderfully with roasted white meats, grilled fish or even hard cheeses. With its aging potential of 5 years, it will evolve towards even more complex aromas.

Guy Sweet Wine 2011

La Sorga

Antony Tortul loves old vineyards: he devotes his life to finding and vinifying them. Just as there are landless shepherds, he can be defined as a landless winegrower, in other words, a wine merchant whose area of activity extends throughout Languedoc and, eastward, as far as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in search of the best terroirs. Born in Foix, with six years of experience as a wine technician and oenologist in various vineyards in the south of France, he created La Sorga in 2008. His enthusiasm leads him on a path filled with favorites, and each of these favorites is a vineyard. The result is a dizzying mosaic of natural, lively, and spirited wines, which reinvents itself each year with around thirty cuvées per vintage. Few winemakers can list such a variety of grape varieties on their list: the whole of southern France is there with muscats, grenaches, picpoul, mauzac, carignan, cinsault, marsanne, alicante, braucol, duras, viognier, len-de-l’el, and tutti quanti.

The Guy cuvée is obtained from a blend of two southern grape varieties growing on the hard Urgonian limestone of Puéchabon (Hérault): vermentino (called rolle in France), at eighty percent, from twenty-five-year-old vines, and viognier, twenty percent, from twenty-five-year-old vines. These two grape varieties macerate together in whole bunches for two weeks. Then, only the heart of the press is selected before aging in old barrels, without topping up, for more than nine years. A wine with a strong personality and finely oxidative notes, presenting a nose of bergamot, candied melon, and fresh walnut. The palate is ample, devoid of any residual sugar or woody sensation, powerful and of great complexity. The finish is lively. This wine holds up very well to air (more than six months) and offers a rock-solid structure.

Natural wine with no added sulfites.
