Mary Taylor Wine Description

The Languedoc: the best-value wine region in France, where viticulture is central to the economy and produces more wine than any other region in France.  For many years the Languedoc was known more for quantity than quality, but aggressive vine-pull schemes coupled with a renewed interest in quality from independent winemakers have changed the landscape significantly.  What hasn’t changed is that it is – and has always been – as Jancis Robinson puts it, “the land of the proud peasant farmer.”

Our winemaker Anne Sarda and her team do their vineyard work by hand.  Carignan vines, up to 60 years old, grow as bush vines at 130 meters altitude, necessitating hand harvest and producing low yields of 30 hl/ha.  The climate is dry and the vines struggle in their stony soils – too stony to even plant cover crops.  It is a wild and rural landscape, yet strikingly beautiful and natural. No pesticides, no herbicides, and no irrigation are employed.  The estate is HVE Level 3 Certified.
