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.
The vineyards are farmed organically and are undergoing organic and biodynamic conversion. 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.
