About Coteau de Béziers: 

formerly "Coteaux du Libron" is an IGP title for red, white and rosé wines produced in an area in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. The region covers an area around the historic city of Béziers (roughly 10km in radius) and down to the Mediterranean coast. Both traditional blended wines and more modern varietally labeled wines are made under the Coteaux de Béziers IGP.

About the Producer:

CERSIUS is the witness of a historical anchoring and expression of an identity and strong values. Coming from inland and preceded by sea entrances, the Cers wind, historically named Cersius by the Romans, provides all its benefits on our vineyard with its powerful, dry and bracing breath.
Based on a balance of the elements, sunshine that gorges our grapes with aromas, natural irrigation thanks to the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, and a very rich terroir, this range is a very special tribute to the wind which completes this whole and plays a major role in our vineyard.

Behind the scenes, in the cellar, in the office and in the field, high-performance teams: :

Guillaume Bonzoms, Director and oenologist, has been the conductor of the Alma Cersius cellar since 2005. He has surrounded himself with experienced people to ensure the follow-up of the vineyard, to master the vinification, the blending of wines, the ageing and the bottling. In this environment of men, the feminine touch is more than present, since it constitutes 60% of the workforce. Women are also the foundations of the existing teams: production, quality, marketing, sales, sales administration.
