Tasting Notes
A Grenache with a splash of Cinsault, fermented whole-bunch and semi-carbonic in concrete over four weeks, which is exactly why it drinks the way it does, all bright and lifted. It's bursting with vibrant red berries and a good crack of pepper, then cherry cola and liquorice root underneath, the fruit pure and concentrated but with a savoury edge and a real lightness to it. Lithe tannins run right through, and at medium bodied it's dangerously moreish. Hard to put down. - Pete L
Nestled against the hillside of Séguret, the family home, known for over a century as "Crève Cœur," gave its name to the estate. This is where the adventure began and a passion was born.
After studying chemical engineering in Strasbourg and Montpellier, I decided to return to my homeland and become a winemaker. To make this dream come true, I trained for two years at the DNO in Montpellier.
In 2010, I took the plunge with the creation of the estate and the acquisition of 2 hectares of old vines in Sablet. The name of the rosé comes from this time when, without premises or equipment, I transformed myself into a "cuckoo" to carry out each stage of the wine's creation, from the vine to its bottling. Solidarity between friends was the sine qua non condition for this adventure.
In 2011, I took over 3 hectares of vines in Séguret and continued to expand the estate to reach 5.5 hectares of mostly old vines. This estate, on a human scale and with low yields, offers a concentrated and authentic wine.
In 2019, construction of the cellar. The "cuckoo" finally makes its nest.
In 2021, the estate expanded. There are 2 additional hectares of vines around the house which will give rise to a new Séguret cuvée (vines facing due east).
