Nestled on the western shores of the tang de Thau the iconic saltwater lagoon renowned for its premium oysters and mussels the terraced vineyards of Ctes de Thau rise gently from the coast. These sun-kissed slopes are rooted in limestone clay and red sandstone, creating ideal growing conditions for Mediterranean grape varieties. The nearby sea helps moderate the intense southern French heat, promoting even ripening of Carignan Noir, Grenache, and Syrah. Grapes are carefully harvested at night, destemmed, and gently pressed before undergoing cool-temperature fermentation to retain their vibrant aromas.

Expect bright red berry aromas on the nose, leading to a savoury palate of red fruit, zesty citrus, and a hint of sea-salt minerality, all balanced by crisp, refreshing acidity.

Pair this wine with Mediterranean appetisers such as olives, tapenade, or roasted peppers. Its also a perfect match for grilled meats, seafood, and especially shellfish like oysters and mussels echoing the traditional flavours served fresh in the lagoon-side cabins of the tang de Thau.
