A wine as unique as the old vines that produce it, La Joupatière is a stunning, biodynamic red with depth and complexity. The inky-dark liquid unveils layers of aroma with every swirl—notes of black fruits, worn leather, and a touch of spice. The palate is rich and intense, showcasing abundant flavours of plums and blackberries, harmonised by refined tannins and balanced acidity. Vibrant and layered, this is a wine to savour.

Named Jancis Robinson's Best Vin de France 2023, this remarkable wine crafted from vines over 120 years old requires a little patience: open it at least an hour before serving to let its full character shine. A true expression of Minervois, La Joupatière is a tribute to heritage winemaking—a wine that sings.
