Marc Barriot L'Original Skin Contact

The roads leading to Clot de l’Origine in Maury can seem like a labyrinth and upon arrival, you’ll discover a winery as mysterious as its proprietor, Marc Barriot, an icon of natural winemaking in Roussillon. Inside, controlled chaos reigns: fermenting vats bubble, oxidative scents linger, and shelves hold distinct wines that may astound you. Producing just 35,000 bottles yearly, certified organic since 2009, Barriot's biodynamic methods include handmade vine treatments. His Macabeu, from 70+ year-old vines, boasts weighty texture from prolonged skin contact.
