Domaine Le conte des Floris

The domaine le conte des floris is a nugget nestled in the heart of Languedoc, between Pézenas, Caux and Gabian. The estate was born from the winegrower's passion of Daniel Le Conte des Floris, a former Parisian journalist who in 2000 took the plunge to take over old vines in Pézenas. Far from being a beginner, Daniel trained among the great names of Burgundy, hence his great affinity for a piecemeal approach to terroirs, long aging in oak barrels and the great freshness of the wines he produces in a region prone to a solar maturity of the grapes. To maintain certain balances, Daniel engages each year a lot of work in the vineyard, certifying biodynamically the 7ha of the Domaine Le Conte Des Floris. In the cellar, the wines are vinified with very little sulfur and the use of indigenous yeasts. The pressings are soft, in vertical press. A haute couture approach that signs wines with a lot of freshness, balance and natural tension. We were amazed by the elegance and finesse of the wines. Here there is no power or exacerbated concentration, the key words are finesse and balance. Bravo Daniel!
