The wine

A soft and approachable wine with dark fruit aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant, layered with violets, a touch of black pepper and wild herbs. Beautifully balanced with a fresh palate and a long, smooth finish. Mourvedre bottled on its own is unusual in the Languedoc, where it is nearly always a blending partner. The estate is HVE Level 3 certified and carbon neutral.

The producer

Olivier Coste grew up playing in the vineyards and cellar of his family estate, founded at Pezenas in 1701. That upbringing left him with a lasting attachment to the Languedoc and to the wines of southern France.

The vineyards lie a few kilometres from Pezenas, close enough that the Mediterranean shapes the growing season. The estate is HVE Level 3 certified and carbon neutral, keeping emissions to a minimum and offsetting the remainder through ecological projects, with solar installations extending the commitment further.

The Solis Lumen range takes its name from the light of the sun, a nod to the sea, sun and wind that shape these wines. The Stars range is aimed at drinkers who want something modern, fresh and fruit-driven.
