Rack without the Ruin

The chateau is in decay, but he staked everything on the vines.  

Improving production and vinification have put new recognition into the region and wines of the Minervois region of Languedoc Roussillon. 

And Jean Paux-Rosset (owner) and Claude Gros (winemaker) are using some of the best grape growers in the region.

It’s a mix of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault that takes advantage of the clay/limestone terroir.


 Sample slow and often to get the best of it.  Highly enjoyable.

This one is very quickly shaping up to be one of our favourite Rhone Valley vineyards.


The Goddess has directed us to the red and white varietals, and now we get to sample the rose.


Someone described this a funky – well, it does have a really nice edge to it.  It’s clean, crisp, nicely dry and sticks around for a nice finish.


This is a certified organic blend of 50% Cinsault, 40% Grenache and 10% Syrah and 3 months in the tank with no oak. 3 generations of winemakers on this family estate in one of the coolest microclimates in the south of the Rhone Valley.
