Le Clos du Serres is the story of a life, of a couple who left everything behind to become winegrowers in 2006, and of a terroir that became AOP Terrasses du Larzac in 2014 in the south of France. Béatrice Fillon loves making wine, tasting it and talking about it. A keen sportswoman, she knows our terroirs better than anyone, particularly the Saut du Poisson, its canyons of ruffes and the Schist paths of t he Maros, which she explores on her mountain bike.
Born in the Gard department, she is the reason we moved to the south of France.

They chose this new occupation to rebuild their lives, ‘to abandon a lifestyle where speed was of the essence, which seemed more and more unreal’.

Sébastien Fillon, born in Saint Etienne, comes from a farming family. As a child, he loved following his father around his fruit trees. After a bored career as an engineer, he became a winemaker at the age of 30, training in the Beaujolais region. He loves history, science and working with others, and is always full of projects, the latest of which is to become President of
the Terrasses du Larzac Appellation in 2019.

Our quest stopped here thanks to its very special climate and the geological mosaic we discovered. We were won over by the quality of life, surrounded by wild, unspoilt nature, set among olive groves, vines and the wild garrigue, close to some great natural sites (Lake Salagou, St Guilhem le Desert, the Herault gorges) but not far (40 kms) from Montpellier, at the foot of theLarzac plateau, mondial patrimonium of UNESCO and Unesco Geoparc.
