The estate and the wine |

Of very good reputation, after having earned a well-deserved first star in the French Guide of the RVF, the Domaine La Terrasse d'Elise is one of those cherished addresses passed around in fine wine connoisseur circles only. Indeed, on these limestone and pebble terroirs of the Aniane area, Xavier Braujou discreetly produces - in very small volumes - beautiful representations of southern wines, bottles of great character, freshness and delicacy that are completely avant-garde.
His ultimate reference is none other than the legendary Rayas estate, and when you taste his wines you can see that the style is indeed very similar! Old vines, minimal yields, organic and biodynamic farming principles, meticulous work in the cellar with very few interventions, little extraction and indigenous yeasts, forge single-variety wines that are at the top of the Languedoc production. |

Pure Mourvèdre aged one year in barrels, the 2020 Red IGP Pays d'Hérault L'Enclos delivers fine aromas of black fruits mixed with notes of spices, garrigue and cocoa. The palate reveals itself around bright and perfectly ripe flavors of fruit, with a lot of amplitude, depth, and finesse. Enjoy its incredible length! |
