Magnum Le Pigeonnier
Magnificent representative of the Carignan. Attention, addictive greed! Lhe Pigeonnier de La Terrasse d'Elise is an exemplary Carignan that juggles with spices, black fruits and the scents of the garrigue, a clear success for Xavier Braujou.
The tannic structure does not necessarily require decanting, but flared glasses will be fully adapted
Lovers of indigenous grape varieties will be charmed by the expression of the Carignan. Vinified for more than a year in barrels, its aromatic range is very complex and its texture is ideally balanced. This is a wine that brilliantly reproduces the expression of a grape variety on a southern terroir without excessive heaviness.

The Estate
Xavier Braujou created the Terrasse d'Elise estate in 1998 by building up a vineyard of about ten hectares on the great terroirs of Aniane. His vines are planted with Carignan, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault.
By dint of hard work and passion, he has succeeded in putting in place all the components needed to produce authentic wines, true to their origin. All the Terrasse d'Elise vintages are produced with manual harvesting, from old vines with very small but concentrated yields of 20 to 25hl/ha. The wines are of exceptional finesse, elegance, smoothness, freshness and aromatics for the region... The vintages, all labelled IGP vin de pays de l'Hérault, assert the identity of their terroir and some have the particularity of being mono-varietal to reveal the intrinsic quality of the grape variety.A domain to be followed very closely...

The Estate La Terrasse d'Elise
Xavier Braujou a crée le domaine la Terrasse d'Elise en 1998, en se constituant un vignoble d'une dizaine d'hectares sur les grands terroirs d'Aniane. Ses vignes sont plantées en Carignan, Mourvèdre, Syrah et Cinsault.
À force de travail et de passion, il a réussi à mettre en place toutes les composantes favorables à l'élaboration de vins authentiques, fidèles à leur origine. Toutes les cuvées de la Terrasse d'Elise sont produites avec des vendanges bien évidemment manuelles, à partir de vieilles vignes de rendements dérisoires mais très concentrés de 20 à 25hl/ha.
Des vins d'une finesse, d'une élégance, d'une suavité, d'une fraîcheur, d'une tenue et d'une aromatique exceptionnelle dans la région... Les cuvées, toutes étiquetées IGP vin de pays de l'Hérault revendiquent l'identité de leur terroir et ont la particularité pour certaines d'être mono-cépage pour révéler la qualité intrinsèque du cépage.
Un domaine à suivre de très près...
