Veterans of the hospitality industry, Régis and Christine Pichon chose to settle in Aspiran in 2005, in the Pézenas terroir, part of the Coteaux-du-Languedoc, and within the small appellation of Clairette-du-Languedoc. In their new life and viticultural project, they aimed to stay as close to nature as possible. They established their estate near the banks (“ribiera”) of the Hérault river, with 8 hectares of vine parcelles growing Grenache, Cinsault, Clairette and Terret on soils of marl and round pebbles. The vineyard is managed through an agroecological approach (certified organic), always striving for harmony with their environment. This harmony comes through in their winemaking, resulting in balanced, expressive wines that truly reflefct the grapes and their terroir.
Vin de liqueur is a "mistelle," meaning grape juice that is either un- or only partially fermented and fortified with wine brandy. The result is rich in fruit and natural sugars. La Source des Selces is produced from Cinsault grapes and, at 17° with 50g of residual sugar, is characterised by its rich aromas, subtle generosity and indulgent sweetness.
