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!
