The wine

Pale lemon, with perfumed apricots, peaches and ripe lime leaping from the glass.

Désir Blanc blends Viognier, Roussanne and Sauvignon Blanc, a combination that would be illegal under most appellation rules and is bottled as IGP for that reason. Viognier and Roussanne give the apricot weight, Sauvignon the lime cut. Domaine La Croix Gratiot is run by Anais Ricome near Montagnac in the Languedoc, a few minutes from the Étang de Thau.

The producer

In the sun-drenched Hérault, close to the Mediterranean lagoon of Thau, Domaine La Croix Gratiot farms a diverse patchwork of Languedoc terroirs. This is a family estate with a modern, thoughtful outlook. Its heart lies in the celebrated Picpoul de Pinet.

The vineyards spread across limestone, clay, and sandstone, each lending its own voice. Farming is careful and increasingly sustainable, and the winemaking is fresh and precise. The aim is character and drinkability in equal measure.

The range is refreshingly varied. Crisp, saline Picpoul sits beside aromatic Hérault whites, juicy Syrah, and even a rare southern Pinot Noir. Every bottle offers honest character at a welcoming price.

To open a La Croix Gratiot wine is to taste the sunny, generous side of the Languedoc. Bright, characterful, and endlessly versatile, these are wines made for sharing.
