Description

Thierry Forestier’s Mont de Marie estate is one of those quietly brilliant spots you stumble on by word of mouth - a small, organic vineyard in the Gard where old-vine southern varieties still get the respect they deserve. Thierry swapped out his IT career in his thirties for 11 hectares of gnarly old vines, and he's been farming them organically ever since, working with a light hand in both vineyard and cellar.

The 2023 Anathème Blanc is a blend of Ugni Blanc, Viognier, and Grenache Gris - grapes that love the Languedoc’s sun but still manage to keep things bright and fresh when handled well. True to Thierry’s style, it’s made with minimal intervention: native yeasts, no heavy-handed winemaking, and just a focus on letting the site and varieties shine through.

The result is a clean, juicy white that’s all about freshness and drinkability, with enough texture and a little savoury edge to keep things interesting. It’s the kind of southern French white that feels at home just about anywhere - simple, honest, and quietly satisfying.

Importers' Notes:

Mont de Marie is Thierry Forestier and he's based in Souvignargues which is in the Gard department. He used to be in IT but his parents were farmers and in his thirties he returned to the land and bought his property of 11 hectares that he has farmed organically ever since, in fact it was farmed that way when he bought it. What got Eric Pfifferling interested was the grape varieties he had - Aramon, Cinsault, Carignan - varieties that suit the climate and express subtlety and finesse and old vines at that, averaging over 80 years!

Thierry is fastidious and makes his wine much like Eric, hyper observation with minimal intervention, the result being vibrant and sensitive wines with plenty of flavour but with freshness and finesse.

Like many of the wines you read about here, the discovery was made whilst travelling through France on the wine route. Conversations, suggestions, wine bars, Restaurants and sometimes sheer chance uncover some real gems.

These are fresh, vibrant southern wines with lifted aromas, enticing flavours, lovely balance and subtle complexities.
