Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soils:
- Clay, Gravel, Limestone
- Terroir:
- Nestled in the heart of the Montpeyroux appellation in the South of France, between the wild scrubland of the garrigue and the Mediterranean Sea, MARA WINE is not merely an estate. It is a living legacy. Situated at the foothills of the Larzac massif, with a due-south orientation, the ancient farmstead of Clos Le Brusq overlooks a rare treasure: a spring resurgence, first revered by the Romans, that irrigates the vines and infuses our wines with a distinct, powerful personality.
- Harvest:

My quest carried me even to the distant shores of Canada, amongst the First Nations, where I learned the art of attentive listening. There, I encountered the remarkable Lecher antenna, an instrument enabling communion with the vine, discerning its needs without imposition. Since 2013, the estate has drawn solely upon its natural biotope: no external inputs, save the minimal sulphites essential. My guiding principle is one of profound simplicity. The soil imparts fragrance, the vine yields the grape, and my role is merely to accompany with humility. The white wines are vinified in barrels and stirred upon their lees for an extended period, bestowing exceptional volume and roundness.

- Aroma:
- From the first nosing, floral notes dominate, with hints of immortelle, dried flowers, and struck flint. With aeration, the wine reveals its full complexity with mineral undertones. Herbal notes such as sage and rosemary intertwine with fresh floral hints of acacia, lilac, and vine blossom.
- Taste:
- The initial taste is smooth, showcasing the wine's finesse. The mid-palate is elegant and refined, with volume and sweetness perfectly balanced by crisp, fresh acidity. The aromatic finish fully expresses the wine's complexity with white-fleshed fruit notes (peach, pear). Its long, rich finish is extended by delightful bitters.
