According to Anne and her husband Jean-Paul Tollot, they fell in love at first sight with the vineyards because it contained limestone and because of it's high elevation relative to the rest of Minervois. The sub district the winery and vineyards are located in, Le Causse in north eastern Minervois, is noted for these features. This allows them to find finesse and precision in their wines from a region known more for dense and powerful reds.
La 50/50 is always a blend of three grapes from some of their younger (mostly 20+ year old vines) , Grenache, Syrah and Carignan. The name refers to the split in ownership of the Domaine by the pair which is 50/50. Meant to be fruity and fresh, La 50/50 is fermented and matured in stainless steel.
