Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2024 on the domaine du Conte des Floris: "Daniel Le Conte de Floris created this 7-hectare estate in 2000, in the communes of Pézenas, Caux and Gabian, after an initial career in journalism. The influence of Burgundy, the region where the winemaker trained, can be felt in his winemaking choices. Real choices, from the use of white carignan, to fine parcel selections, or long ageing on lees, have quickly made the domaine the talk of the town. The style is always fresh, digestible and precise, with controlled alcohols and delicate matter. Expressions of terroir shine through, and the high standards seen in previous editions are confirmed. Even greater after a few years, the wines will reward the most patient."
