The typicality of a Languedoc red wine

The estate

Les Vignes Oubliées is an utter gem in the Languedoc region and stems from a project between Jean-Baptiste Granier and Olivier Jullien.

Producing authentic and pure wines that encourage wine lovers to share, to meet with loved ones and to be generous, Les Vignes Oubliées are at the very heart of beautiful Languedoc wines.
