Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

Konrad Pixner grew up in South Tyrol, worked across Europe, then built Domaine de l'Accent from scratch in the Terrasses du Larzac in 2018. He works his vines largely alone, plot by plot, with native yeasts and nothing added.

Cuvée Elliot is his wine for laying down, from terraced plots in the garrigue.

And yes, the name makes it the house red.

The place

Languedoc

A vast Mediterranean sweep from Nîmes to the Spanish border, the Languedoc has gone from bulk-wine sea to France's most exciting frontier. Old Carignan and Grenache on schist and limestone give garrigue-scented reds; the coast yields zesty Picpoul de Pinet; Limoux makes sparkling wine that predates Champagne. France's largest organic vineyard area.
