About the winemaker
After a career as a physiotherapist, Laurent Vaillé decided in the 1980s that he wanted to become a winemaker after all. After apprenticeships with Jean François Coche, Eloi Durrbach and Gerard Chave, among others, he settled in Aniane (his native region) in a place, which everyone thought was impossible to produce top wines. Since then, the estate has enjoyed cult status for many years. The vineyards on the Terrasses du Larzac were planted with Gérard Chave's syrah, marsanne and roussane after intensive processing, including dynamite, and his cabernet sauvignon was sourced from Eloi Durrbach of Domaine Trévallon.

Details
| Vineyard | Laurent Vaillé returned to his native soil in the village of Aniane in the late 1980s and focused on the vineyards in the hills surrounding this village. Vineyards that no one really saw any point in, too difficult to cultivate etc. The soil here consists of limestone, boulders and smaller stones and the grapes grow in gobelets. He got these from Gérard Chave and Eloï Durbach of Domaine Trévallon. The vineyards have an exposure to the south and give low yields, between 20 and 22 hl/ha. In total, there are about 9 hectares of blue grapes for the production of this unique red wine. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | After the manual harvest, all grapes are vinified separately and aged in 228-liter oak barrels. When vinification is complete, the wines are blended and then enjoy another bottle aging in Laurent Vaillé's cellar before being released to the market. |
