La Traversée is a small wine estate in Saint-Privat, Southern France. Winemaker Gavin Crisfield creates red wine that reflects the Terrasses du Larzac terroir. Therefore, production focuses on precision, character and a clear sense of place.

Wine from Terrasses du Larzac

Terrasses du Larzac lies within the Languedoc wine region. The area combines a Mediterranean climate with cooler mountain influences.

Temperature changes between day and night help preserve freshness in the grapes. Moreover, the vineyards grow on varied soils. These include slate, sandstone, volcanic material and limestone.

As a result, La Traversée can combine ripe Mediterranean fruit with balance and elegance.

Organic Vineyard Management

La Traversée follows organic viticulture. Gavin Crisfield works with four separate vineyard parcels.

The principal grape varieties are:

• Syrah
• Grenache
• Carignan
• Cinsault

Each variety contributes a different element. Syrah adds spice and structure. Grenache brings ripe fruit and warmth. Meanwhile, Carignan adds freshness and character. Cinsault contributes perfume and finesse.

The blend may vary according to the vintage. Therefore, check the technical information for the available release.

Traditional Winemaking

La Traversée vinifies the grape varieties separately. The winemaker uses native fermentation without adding commercial yeast.

Different vessels support the winemaking process. These can include concrete egg-shaped tanks, French oak vats and large oval oak foudres.

This careful method helps preserve the identity of each vineyard. In addition, it allows the final blend to express both complexity and balance.

Taste and Character

La Traversée is a structured French red wine. It can offer dark fruit, red fruit and Mediterranean herb aromas.

You may also notice:

• Black pepper
• Liquorice
• Laurel
• Earthy notes
• Wild herbs
• Mineral tones

The palate can feel dense yet refined. Fresh acidity and fine tannins support the fruit. As a result, the wine has a long and complex finish.

Food Pairing Suggestions

La Traversée pairs well with:

• Roast lamb
• Grilled beef
• Venison
• Duck
• Mediterranean stews
• Mushroom dishes
• Mature cheese

Serve the wine at approximately 16–18°C. Some vintages may also benefit from decanting.

La Traversée can suit fine-wine merchants, premium restaurants and specialist distributors. However, production is limited. Stock and vintages may therefore change.
