The Cigalus estate benefits from a warm and sunny Mediterranean climate (of a semi-arid type with a temperate springtime variation), allowing for an advanced ripening of all the grape varieties. The estate is cultivated in Biodynamic agriculture. The aridity of this climate (low rainfall) is compensated for by deep soils (sediments deposited by the Aussou, the stream that delimits the property), which stores winter rainfall longer, but whose fertility is limited by the presence in the subsoil of a slightly calcareous sandstone dating from the Campanian period (secondary era, before the emergence of the Pyrenees).
Since the autumn of 2002, part of the vineyard has been run using biodynamic methods. In order to achieve this result, we make sure to respect 2 fundamental principles: yield control (25hl/ha): vines over 15 years old, no mineral nitrogenous fertilization, short pruning in cordon de Royat, green harvesting; and optimal maturity: perfect sanitary state (sorting of grapes if necessary), classic maturity control (doubled by analyses on polyphenols), daily tasting of the berries from each plot to trigger the harvest. The wines are put into new 225L barrels after the end of the alcoholic fermentation and before the malolactic fermentation, racking and blending. A selection of coopers is made in order to adapt the choice of wood origins and the type of toasting to each vintage. The wine is kept for a minimum of 1 year in the bottle before it is marketed.
Intense ruby colour with a mahogany hue. The bouquet shouts concentrated, very ripe black fruit, grilled spice and toasted oak. The palate is lush and opulent with velvety tannins. The aromas of black fruit -blackberries, black cherries and plums - reappear with a complex empyreumatic web leading into mint. The finish is long with a perfect balance.
Serve at 16°C, perfect with roasted red meat, poultry "en sauce" or ripened cheeses

We found our new favorite poolside sip! La Grande Bleue Méditerranée, an organic wine made with 5 artfully blended grapes, takes us back to this past summer's adventure in Languedoc, France. The crisp taste is perfect to enjoy on what has been an exceptionally hot summer in both Southern California and Southern France! Thank heavens for La Grande Bleue!!
I love that I'm getting something that's less harmful and still enjoyable!

Our family has a tradition of "Laundry Room wine". It is wine of a high caliber that we hide in the laundry room and only tell a select few about. Those who have a discerning appreciation for tasty wines! Blanc Gris quickly became a "laundry room wine' after my husband and I discovered it on our recent vacation to the Languedoc region of France. I brought it to share with my daughter and sister-in-law who greatly appreciated this addition to our Laundry Room Wine List
It’s light and crisp and the perfect warm weather drink.
Delicious, a crisp cremant that is not too sweet.
I drank all of these in less than one week! It’s so good I keep restocking!
Trouble xp White - non-filtered, cloudy, organic, vegan wine
Wonderful Chardonnay style white wine.
I love this sparkling wine! I first tasted it on a Carnival Cruise and I have been in love ever since. I do not drink any other alcoholic beverage. I ordered three bottles and will be ordering three more! Order yours today!!! You will not be disapointed!!
All is well for a summer of Cotes des roses!
Loved it.Fruity and light.
Friday happy hour with friends about to kick off

Drinking this delicious, refreshing, delight with the most perfect bubbles by the pool on a hot summer day. Chouette!!!

I ordered this at a restaurant last summer and finally ordered a few because I couldn't stop thinking about how much I enjoyed it. It Came packaged beautifully!
Great wine!
We loved, will definitely order again!
Intense dark cherry fruit, bright acidity, some tobacco, medium to full-bodied with firm tannins. It is a delicious, round, and pleasing wine.
Very nice.
The taste is out of this World. Love it
Great wine poorly coordinated communication. Never got details sipping it just arrived unexpectedly
A great taste!
Love the wine and service!
Lovely, smooth, no bad after effects.
Great experience, fast shipping and wonderful wine.
I loved it
This is my wife's favorite wine. Thank you so much. Great service.
The wine was smooth yet complex and very satisfying to keep in the mouth for a few swirls. Delightful to know that Gérard Bertrand’s growing methods are sustainable and mindful of taking care of the land.
I am beyond pleased with the wonderful product and amazing service. Shipping was so fast and packaging was strong and secure. So thankful that they shipped my order via UPS. I love the wine. I can’t find this wine in a small town I live close to. Will definitely buy from this company for sure. Highly recommend! Thank you
Arrived on time!
I had this wine at a restaurant and loved it, that's why I ordered it. Very smooth and palatable with all kinds of food. It came so fast
Excellent wive and value!

It was difficult to have it delivered. The wine is more tonic than expected.
I didn’t get what I ordered, I got a sparkling wine instead and I sent an email explaining that and I haven’t received an answer. I want the wine I ordered please.
It's nice and heavy, but defintely reads like new wine.

I can not find this wine locally, but the nearest Costco carries it around Christmas. I think it is the perfect summer wine. It is light and not very sweet; and the bottle is exquisite. I will order again before the summer is over, I am sure.
Full bodied. Perfect!

My wife's favorite wine, also a great hostess gift for friends homes.
My Sister-in-law’s favorite wine! Nice and crisp - not too sweet. Shipping was a bit slow but worth it. If sending as a gift be sure to allow enough shipping time.
My husband and I had this particular bottle of wine on a recent cruise we were on. It was one of the wines offered during a wine tasting we did. We loved the wine and wanted to try it again once we got home. We are looking forward to having it again. The one negative was in the packaging of the wine and shipment. I’m very surprised the wine arrived without the bottle breaking. I’ve never seen something breakable, and liquid packaged so badly. There was no bubble wrap. Only a few pieces of cardboard providing any cushion at all, and that’s a stretch to say it was cushioned. The box it was shipped in was pieced together. Overall I was extremely disappointed in how the wine was shipped. As much as we love the wine, and would potentially want to buy from you again, I would be very concerned that the next time the bottle wouldn’t arrive without breaking if the same lack of care was given to the next shipment.
