Domaine Canet-Valette ‘Antonyme’ 2022

In the rolling hills of Saint-Chinian, in the heart of southern France’s Languedoc region, Domaine Canet-Valette is a soulful, family-run estate founded in 1992 by Marc Valette. Deeply rooted in the land, the domaine is built on a philosophy of living in harmony with nature.

Located in the village of Cessenon-sur-Orb, the vineyards are surrounded by garrigue scrubland and rugged mountains. Here, wind and stone shape the unique character of the wines. At Canet-Valette, wine isn’t made to follow trends. It’s a reflection of the land’s rhythm, its joys and struggles, and the enduring love for place.

Farming is fully organic, without synthetic fertilizers or herbicides. The team works with the soil, not against it, preserving its vitality and allowing the vines to fully express their natural identity. This careful control brings complexity and depth to every grape, and ultimately, every bottle.

In the cellar, the approach remains gentle and respectful. Wild yeasts, minimal intervention, and long aging periods define their style, allowing each cuvée to mature gracefully with time. Signature wines like “Une et Mille Nuits” and “Maghani” showcase aromatic richness and refined textures, true expressions of the Mediterranean sun and soil.

Every glass invites you into the warmth of the South of France, the scent of wild herbs on the breeze, the rocky earth beneath your feet, and the quiet strength of tradition carried forward with passion. Each bottle is a love letter to Languedoc’s wild beauty and generous soul.
