Clos du Gravillas is based in Saint Jean de Minervois, where John and Nicole Bojanovski have farmed organically since 1996. John’s background in ecology has shaped the estate’s philosophy from the outset, with a strong focus on biodiversity, soil health and low yields rather than appellation driven styles. The vineyards sit on a high limestone and gravel plateau exposed to wind and sun, creating naturally low vigour conditions that suit old vines and favour freshness despite the Mediterranean climate. The domaine has long been associated with natural wine in the Languedoc, but always with a strong sense of balance and site expression rather than ideology.
Douce Providence 2023 comes from old vine Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains grown on white limestone soils around Saint Jean de Minervois, a historic stronghold for this variety. The altitude and dry climate preserve freshness and aromatic precision, even in ripe years. The wine is luminous and finely balanced, offering floral lift and citrus clarity supported by natural sweetness and a clean mineral line that avoids heaviness.
