Dark fruited Merlot from 50-year-old vines situated some 500m above sea level (some of the highest vines in the Ardèche) on the edge of the wild and mountainous Cevennes forest. 

Sota Mon Soleu (Under my Sun) is a beautifully pure expression of Merlot which balances lush ripe fruit with just a touch of spice against silky tannins and fresh streak of acidity. The 2023 vintage was warm, much like 2022 but with more rain just before harvest, providing some much-needed balance to the wines. As Laurent says 'it's a bottle of sunshine!'. Fantastic value to be found here.
