Ribeyrenc is an old Languedoc grape variety from the 18th and 19th centuries that has been given a new lease of life thanks to Thierry Navarre. He decided to bring it back into cultivation thanks to a few vines found in his old vines,in a concern for preservation and varietal diversity, and vinified his first cuvée in 2000 with 30 ares of vines.

This Ribeyrenc 2024 is an original and surprising wine, with a beautiful light ruby colour, low tannin and which offers a beautiful freshness on the palate with floral and fruity aromas and light spicy notes.

Find the wines of Thierry Navarre on sale at La Bouteille Dorée, a passionate winemaker based in Roquebrun and an ardent defender of the diversity and conservation of grape varieties. He advocates a vine cultivation with a deep respect for the land (compost, natural preparations, infusion of plants, nettle manure, ploughing and hoeing of the soil) and a natural vinification without chemicals. The grapes are harvested by hand.
