About the winemaker
Clos Constantin is located in the village of Argelliers, 20 km from Montpellier, near Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, between Pic Saint-Loup and Larzac.
The estate covers 15 hectares, divided between the Font-Belette and Les Champs de Traversiers plots. Pierre took over the vineyards from his uncle and, together with Samuel, founded the winery in 2017.
From day one, they have been working organically and biodynamically; the wines are certified organic and biodynamic. The cellar is worked with great precision.
The wines of Clos Constantin are elegant, refined, and unpretentious, and fall under the AOC Languedoc and AOC Terrasses du Larzac appellations.

Details
| Vineyard | The grapes for this wine come from "Font-Belette," a vineyard situated at an altitude of 230 meters like a natural amphitheater nestled between ridges of holm oaks. Grenache comes from plots with quartz and sandy soils, while Syrah and Carignan come from more calcareous, stony slopes. The name Euzéria comes from Old Occitan and refers to the oak forest that borders the vineyard. |

| Vinification | Minimal intervention, vinification with indigenous yeasts, Grenache is fermented separately with gentle extraction, Syrah and Carignan are fermented together, followed by aging in concrete tanks for 12 months. |
