This wine is clearly rooted in a rugged, Mediterranean part of the Languedoc.
- Location / Origin: Domaine Pujol is located in Saint Frichoux in the Aude, at the foot of the Montagne Noire. From this amphitheatre-like landscape, the estate overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, while Domaine Garric represents the local AOP Minervois within the range.
- Climate & Influences: The vineyards benefit from a distinct Mediterranean sun, which is well-suited for a Minervois with more colour and power.
- Landscape: The parcels are scattered among garrigue, on hill slopes with pine trees and green oaks. Rosemary and thyme are naturally present and give this origin a unique southern signature.
- Soil: In Saint Frichoux, the estate refers to soils that still bear the memory of an ancient salty sea. This underscores how strongly this place is connected to its geological origin.
This Minervois is composed of 2 classic southern grape varieties, without unnecessary complexity in the blend.
- Syrah – Minervois: Syrah is part of the blend that gives this wine its deep red colour and powerful finish.
- Grenache – Minervois: Grenache, together with Syrah, forms the basis of the wine and supports the full, southern style of this cuvée.
