Les Hérétiques is named in recogntion of the Cathars, a heretical Christian group once based on the Languedoc but wiped out by order of Pope Innocent III in 1208 in response to the murder of a papal representative by a Cathar supporter near Minervois.
50% Syrah, 20% Carignan, 20% Grenache, 10% Cinsault
The vines average 40 years old, with some of them being up over 100 years old, and are planted on clay-limestone soils. The fruit is sustainably farmed and harvested partly by hand and partly by machine. The Syrah and Grenache are destemmed and macerated for 3-4 weeks in concrete vats. Carignan and Cinsault remain in whole clusters for a full carbonic maceration in steel tanks. Fermentation is with selected yeasts. The varieties are blended and bottled with a light, non-sterile filtration and a very small dose of sulfur.
