The estate Le Conte des Floris is a small exploitation of about 7 ha (17 acres) which is located between Pezenas, Caux and Gabian and was created in 2000. The winery is situated in the village of Caux, in an old cellar dating from the beginning of the 20th century.
All our wines are worked without pesticid, insecticid or engrais. The harvest are handmade and the grappes are picked in small boxes of 12kg (26 lb) after selection within the wines. The wine is kept in small barrels during at least 15 months.
Through the expression of our « terroir » (diverse and separated) we are looking for fine and fresh wine rather than a powerfull and concentrated wine. The most of our work is to let the terroir express itself with the least technical intervention possible.
Each of our red labels is the expression of a singular terroir, for instance grenache for Villafranchien, syrah for schiste of Carbonifère and carignan for Basalte.
Our white wines are made essentialy with an unknown grape variety
called carignan blanc, alone for Lune Blanche,
with marsanne and
terret bourret for Arès Blanc, and with roussane for Lune Rousse. Its
acidity is naturally high which allow us to pick it up at a good
maturity.
As a matter of fact, our first goal is to preserve the freshness and the right balance of the wines, which are meant to be drunk through a meal.
