Clos des Augustins

Languedoc Syrah and blends from the limestone slopes of Pic-Saint-Loup.

Clos des Augustins is situated in Languedoc, the expansive southern French region known for robust Mediterranean reds built on Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. The winery's portfolio centers on Pic-Saint-Loup, a limestone-rich appellation within Languedoc that yields wines of structure and depth. L'Aîne, a pure Syrah expression, anchors the range and has drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. The blend Pic-Saint-Loup 'Le Gamin' marries Syrah with Grenache, while Sourire d'Odile adds Mourvèdre to the mix, creating a more complex tertiary profile. These wines reflect the terroir of their origin: warm days, cool nights, and stony soils that concentrate fruit and tannin. Languedoc has emerged as a source of serious, food-friendly reds at fair prices—a departure from the region's earlier reputation for bulk wine. Clos des Augustins' focus on Pic-Saint-Loup positions it within that modern current.
