Domaine des Murettes
Domaine des Murettes works within Languedoc, the sprawling Mediterranean region of southern France where Rhône varieties thrive in warm, sun-exposed terrain. The winery's portfolio centers on Minervois, a subregion known for structured reds built on Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre. Clos de L'Olivier Minervois pairs Syrah and Grenache into a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. Les Cimes Minervois La Livinière, a more granular appellation within Minervois, layers Grenache and Syrah with similar critical recognition. Le Rouge des Minervois rounds the portfolio with a three-grape blend of Mourvedre, Grenache, and Syrah—a composition that reflects the region's traditional approach to blending. These wines embody the character of southern Languedoc: ripe fruit, earthy minerality, and the structural backbone that Syrah and Grenache deliver in this climate.
