La Clape, an ancient island which has been attached to the continent since the 14th century, is an anthology of soils on which each unique grape variety finds harmony.
Ideally exposed, the terroirs of La Négly and Boède are distinguished by the diversity of their soils. Indeed, the soil of Boède is sandy loam and sandstone, while that of Négly is clay-limestone, which gives the wines from these vineyards a wide aromatic pallet.
At the beginning of the 1990s, Jean Paux-Rosset and his wife inherited this family estate and completely transform it in the decades that followed. Owner Jean Paux-Rosset and his talented consultant oenologist Claude Gros produce sublime, unmanipulated wines from low yielding, super-ripe, hand-picked fruit.
Definitely focused on environmentally friendly cultivation, La Négly obtains the “High environmental value” label in order to quickly convert to organic farming.
The wines of the terroir are renowned for their saline/coastal character with lots of freshness and minerality.
