About this winery
In an enchanting 18-hectare site in Bize, within the Minervois, the vineyards of the estate are surrounded by garrigue, pines, and canyons. Located in the Causses terroir at the foothills of the Montagne Noire, Le Loup Blanc was born from the passion of Alain Rochard, Nicolas Gaignon, Carine, and Laurent Farre, aiming to produce wines of pure and harmonious expression.
