LANGUEDOC RED ABRACADABRA 2020 THE PATH OF DREAMS
Benoît VIOT traveled the world before settling down winemaker just north of Montpellier.
This pharmacy, a pharmacist in the industry, has always been passionate about biology and medicine.
Before going into viticulture, he spent ten years trying to understand the wine, even going so far as to make it in his bathroom in England!
A last visit to Chile has decided to embark on this adventure.
After two years of training, in 2004, he rents 7 hectares of AOC Coteaux du Languedoc Pic Saint Loup and Grés de Montpellier vines in Combaillaux and Saint Gély du Fesc. He buys agricultural and winemaking equipment and creates “the Chemin des Rêves”.
The name of the estate comes from a small path that runs along the vines and which had been nicknamed “Chemin des Rêves” by a resident of the village who came to walk there every day.
In 2008, he buys 7 additional hectares of vines at Saint Gély and a cellar.
In 2009, he builds a sales and tasting cellar.
In 2012, he renovates the winery.
Grapes: Syrah, Grenache, Carignan

Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge Igp 2021 75CL
IGP SAINT GUILHEM LE DESERT
They are the first generation and creators of the current Mas de Daumas Gassac estate. Véronique Guibert de la Vaissiere is an ethnologist, specialist in myths and traditions in Celtic Ireland. Originally from Aveyron, Aimé Guibert comes from an old Millavoise family of glove makers and tanners.
The management of the estate and the vinifications were then passed on to the second generation made up of Samuel, Gaël, Amélien, Roman and Basile. Today they guarantee the values of respect for their "mother nature" and the primacy of the expression of the terroir, the foundations of the estate's wines since its creation.
In the heart of the thousand-year-old Gaillacois vineyard, the Cinq Peyres estate is located on the heights of the Cordais plateau, in Cahuzac-sur-Vère. The name of the estate comes from the richness of the terroir and the different limestones that compose it.
From vine to wine, the approach is intended to be virtuous for the environment and for the grapes. Vinification is done without sulfur and takes place spontaneously thanks to the yeasts naturally present on the grapes. Hygiene and tasting are at the heart of the work in the cellar. They attach great importance to the rhythm of nature, to the good health and balance of the soil and to the development of biodiversity.
Grapes Braucol (50%) and Duras (50%)
Vinif Maceration for 1 month in mille-feuilles with pumping over and punching down if necessary. Fermentation in native yeast.

Reinhard Brundig, tireless ambassador of the 7th art, is a mad wine lover. He bought Courbissac in 2002, he dreams of making wine, he is under the spell of this isolated place lost in the scrubland and the pines. He is renovating the cellar , buys the first tuns and begins to vinify the different parcels of Courbissac.
The construction is slow, you have to review the copy several times, Courbissac cannot be tamed so easily.
In 2013, he sought to renew his style, he wanted fresher, more elegant wines, and it was in November 2013 that he met Brunnhilde Claux.
At the age of 30, Brunnhilde takes over the technical part of the estate, sets up a gentle vinification, in whole bunches.
The aging is more restrained, the wines are more supple, a new page is being written for Courbissac.
