Domaine Le Clos du Serres

What Domaine Le Clos du Serres does

Domaine Le Clos du Serres is a family-owned organic winery established in 2006 by Béatrice and Sébastien Fillon in Saint Jean de la Blaquière, within the Terrasses du Larzac zone of the Languedoc (45 km northwest of Montpellier, at the foothills of the Larzac plateau). The estate operates 15 hectares of vines across 18 distinct parcels, each vinified separately in dedicated concrete vats and, for selected cuvées, in 1600-liter TAVA terracotta amphorae heated to 1200 degrees. This parcellary architecture is designed to isolate terroir expression across a geologically diverse mosaic of schists, clay schists (pélites feuilletées), red ruffes, and rolled pebbles (galets). The portfolio comprises eight wines: six reds and a white under AOP Terrasses du Larzac and AOP Languedoc, a gastronomic rosé, and a Vin de France cuvée from the nearly extinct Oeillade grape preserved through massale selection from 60-year-old vines.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer model. Sales occur at the on-site caveau by appointment, supplemented by the Restons en Vigne online marketplace, with the estate holding the Qualité Tourisme Sud de France certification. Sébastien Fillon has served as President of the AOP Terrasses du Larzac since 2019, giving the domain governance influence over the appellation's collective positioning. Production is intentionally constrained at approximately 30 hectoliters per hectare, with limited cuvées such as L'Humeur Vagabonde (~2,100 bottles) reflecting a premium, low-volume positioning. Critical acclaim spans Bettane & Desseauve (3 stars), Jancis Robinson, Robert Parker/Wine Advocate, Decanter, RVF Guide Vert, Tim Atkin MW, Guide Hachette, and a Grenache du Monde gold medal for Les Maros.

The estate has no disclosed revenue, no public funding rounds, no parent company, and operates as a small two-founder family business with no publicly stated headcount, distributing primarily within France and without disclosed international wholesale channels.

Core offering

Domaine Le Clos du Serres is a 15-hectare family-owned organic estate winery that produces AOP Terrasses du Larzac and AOP Languedoc wines from 18 distinct parcels, each vinified separately in concrete vats and terracotta amphorae. The portfolio of eight wines emphasizes terroir-driven expression from a complex mosaic of schist, clay schist, red ruffes, and rolled pebble soils, including single-parcel lieu-dit cuvées, an amphora-aged grand vin, a rare Oeillade varietal wine, and a gastronomic rosé.

Product overview

Domaine Le Clos du Serres is an organic winery producing a portfolio of eight distinct wines under the AOC Terrasses du Larzac and Vin de France appellations. The range spans red wines (Sainte Pauline, Serres & Co, Les Maros, L'Humeur Vagabonde, Saint Jean, Oeillade), white wine (Le Saut du Poisson), and rosé (Entre Amis). The wines are organized by terroir expression—lieu-dit single vineyard wines (Sainte Pauline on galets, Les Maros on schists, Le Saut du Poisson on ruffes), amphora-aged wines (L'Humeur Vagabonde), village synthesis (Saint Jean), regional appellation (Languedoc, Serres & Co), and rare varietal (Oeillade from forgotten grape). All wines are organically certified, hand-harvested, and aged predominantly in concrete vats or amphora without oak influence.
