The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Situated on north-facing high garrigues, Domaine L'Hermas is one of the new rising stars of the Terrasses du Larzac appellation. On this highly prized terroir, Matthieu Torquebiau found these "abandoned lands" (hermas in Occitan), planted syrah and mourvèdre and began an extraordinary adventure with a first wine in 2009.


An idealist and perfectionist, this winemaker makes wines that are tailored to his needs, delicate and concise, free from any fashionable effect. Fermentations without yeast, controlled maturation in 700-liter demi-muids, sobriety and restraint are the key words of these wines of great style. A must-discover from the Languedoc terroir, for sure!
Wine With a good proportion of vermentino grapes associated with roussanne and chenin, the 2021 White IGP Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert has beautiful nuances of perfumes, between floral,citrus and exotic fruits notes. Its great freshness and fatness, its saline touch on the finish make up a very beautiful white wine with a mineral and delicate texture. A magnificent expression of southern style, with great finesse.
Vinification Hand harvested, indigenous yeasts, natural fermentation, direct pressing with light settling, aged in 700L barrels and demi-muids. Unfiltered wine and a minimal dose of sulfur. In conversion to Organic Agriculture.
