The originally Swiss family Stolt settled in 1998 in the northern tip of Pic-Saint-Loup in Roussillon, where it is slightly cooler than in the rest of the region. This area is adjacent to Languedoc, the vineyards are located in both regions. The 8 hectares of Mas Foulaquier have been fully biodynamically cultivated since 2006 and in the cellar they work 'naturally'. Everything is taken care of in the most natural way possible. No additives, no additions to the wine. Balance, finesse, good acidity, soft wood maturation and lots of fruit are the main characteristics.
This plot, planted with young Syrahs, many old Carignans and Goblet Grenache is very qualitative. The vines are worked in biodynamics and harvested by hand in boxes of 20 kg like the others. Crushed limestone for the Syrahs and clay-limestone soil a little more marly for the Carignan vines. The vines are oriented northeast.
Long maceration at low temperature. No intervention during fermentation. No addition of sulphur, yeast. Only a low dose of sulphites before bottling. 24 months in used wooden barrels. The wine is then bottled by gravity with an air vacuum printer, in preserving the quality of the wine as much as possible.
