A Pioneering Estate in Pic Saint-Loup

Domaine de l’Hortus is one of the most iconic vineyards in Pic Saint-Loup, one of Languedoc’s most prestigious appellations. Founded in the 1970s by Jean Orliac, this family-run estate has played a crucial role in elevating the region’s reputation. Now managed by his children, it represents a modern and terroir-driven approach to viticulture, producing wines of exceptional elegance and depth.

A Unique Terroir Between Cliffs and Wild Herbs

Nestled between the limestone cliffs of Hortus and Pic Saint-Loup, the estate benefits from an outstanding terroir. Its clay-limestone soils and high-altitude vineyards provide a Mediterranean climate tempered by continental influences, ensuring slow and balanced ripening. This privileged terroir allows Languedoc’s signature grape varieties—Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Viognier—to flourish with finesse and complexity.

Sustainable Viticulture and Precise Winemaking

Domaine de l’Hortus practices sustainable viticulture, minimizing chemical inputs and fostering natural soil balance. All grapes are hand-harvested, and each parcel is vinified separately to preserve its unique character. Aging, carefully tailored to each cuvée, takes place in stainless steel tanks or barrels, depending on the wine’s profile, ensuring an optimal aromatic expression.

Elegant and Deeply Expressive Wines

The wines of Domaine de l’Hortus stand out for their balance and complexity. The reds, led by Syrah, reveal intense aromas of dark berries, violets, and spices, supported by silky tannins and bright freshness. The whites, crafted from Viognier and Roussanne, combine finesse and minerality, with delicate floral and citrus notes. Each cuvée highlights the richness and uniqueness of Pic Saint-Loup.

Domaine de l’Hortus, a Must-Know Name in Languedoc Wines

With its commitment to precise viticulture and meticulous winemaking, Domaine de l’Hortus has become a flagship estate in Languedoc.
