The story behind the wine

La Terre du Petit Homme takes its name from a tale of days gone by, when a little man and his small black dog were often seen wandering through these vineyard plots. Legend has it that their visits were no coincidence. The dog's boundless excitement had a simple explanation: he was an expert truffle hunter, always eager to sniff out his next treasure beneath the soil!

Winemaker: Sébastien Alban.

Tasting notes

The nose reveals aromas of sweet spices, black cherry and red berries, leading to a rich, velvety and elegant palate with silky tannins. Notes of liquorice and Madagascar vanilla emerge on the finish, adding depth and complexity.

From grape to wine

The grapes come from 30- to 50-year-old vines grown on the upper slopes of the estate, on south-facing clay-limestone soils with a 20% gradient. They are harvested at full ripeness.

Winemaking involves extended maceration with frequent aerated rack-and-return operations (délestage). The Grenache is aged on its lees in temperature-controlled tanks, while the Syrah and Mourvèdre spend 15 months in a combination of new and once-used oak barrels.
