The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The Jewel of Larzac, the Domaine du Pas de l’Escalette, with its 2-star rating from Guide RVF, truly excels in its field. For twenty years, Delphine and Julien Zernott have nurtured these wild, arid lands, set in terraces on limestone scree and home to very old vines. This talented couple crafts biodynamic wines that are remarkably precise and elegant, consistently guided by an ever-present freshness.

These altitude wines delicately explore the nuances of Mediterranean grape varieties, embodying a natural energy and minerality that perfectly align with contemporary tastes.
Wine The 2023 Red Languedoc Les Petits Pas is a delightful, juicy, and fruity red wine that perfectly embodies its Mediterranean roots. It's a thirst-quenching pleasure wine, convivial and sincere, perfect for enjoying this summer. This fruit-forward treat is best served slightly chilled, paired with charcuterie, terrines, or grilled white meats. Rated 91/100 by the Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested. 60% destemming, 10 to 20-day vatting period. Traditional vinification. Alcoholic fermentation in 50-hl wooden vats with indigenous yeasts. Aged in wooden truncated-cone vats and rough concrete tanks.
