Nous avons planté en 2000, les vignes de Syrah, de Cabernet Sauvignon, de Mourvèdre et de Counoise sur le terroir le plus haut de St Jean de Minervois. C’est une parcelle isolée, entourée de chênes verts et de garrigue recouverte de cailloux blancs.
Les raisins de Cinsault, de Carignan, de Grenache et de Terret noir sont issus de vieilles vignes sur le plateau de Cazelles
Son nom « Sous les cailloux des grillons » vient de la présence de nombreux grillons dans cette vigne d’altitude. Par contre, pas une seule cigale, c’est peut être trop frais !
Dégustation : la robe est pourpre sombre translucide. Le nez est plutôt discret, sur le coulis de mûre et des notes lactées et épicées. La bouche est ronde, ample, veloutée, avec une matière dense, aux tanins fermes qui demandent à se fondre, tout en offrant un fruit mûr extraverti assez irrésistible. La finale gagne encore en concentration, avec plus de fruit et de fraîcheur, sur le coulis de fruits noirs, les épices douces et le cacao.

What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
