The Bila-Haut vineyards are organic and biodynamically farmed. Known for their steep terraces, craggy limestone soils, and low-yielding old vines, these parcels produce wines with flavour and depth, balanced by a stone-like minerality. The sunny climate of the Languedoc-Roussillon gives the wines their generosity, whilst the schist soils offer good freshness.
With Jancis Robinson singing the praises of the outstanding quality coming out of the Côtes du Roussillon, we can’t agree more that everyone should ‘take advantage’ of these ‘seriously under-priced’ wines.
