Nolwenn… Alexandra…
The 14th generation of the Famille Quiot. Two little girls with first names rich in history and myth. Two heroic and royal destinies. Two passionate and ambitious destinies. Two combative destinies and in search of independence. From "the white angel" to "the one who protects man"…
Much more than just a Cuvée, this wine represents a true story, it is a tribute, rich in meaning and symbology. A little bit of secrecy… a bit of sophistication... a lot of tradition and future… Here is the alchemy of the Nolandra cuvée. A wine that can be felt... it cannot be explained.
The first names, Nolwenn and Alexandra are the first names of the elders of each branch of the 14th generation.

Far from the sirens of the press, we focus on our capacity and our production potential.
You will not be able to discover our Nolandra, only the years when the harvest has allowed us to produce our traditional cuvées on our different domaines with optimal quality. If this condition is met, then we work on the Quintessence : Nolandra.

Reviews
"Deep garnet, brick hued rim — signs of maturity. A complex weave of dried cherries, fig preserves and sun-baked earth on the nose, complemented by nuances of garrigue, leather, and truffle. Remarkable integration and harmony on the palate, once powerful tannins now silky and refined. Layers unfold gracefully, revealing a core of concentrated dark fruit, accented by savoury hints of olive tapenade and dried herbs provencal. The characteristic warmth of Grenache is beautifully balanced and structured by a portion of Syrah and Mourvèdre (I think), creating a full-bodied yet elegant profile. A vein of minerality, reminiscent of the region’s famous galets roulés, runs through the wine, leading to a long, contemplative finish that echoes with notes of sweet spice and dried flowers. Only made in exceptional vintage, at 14 years of age this is a truly beautiful expression of this revered appellation. It’s probably reaching its zenith but with careful ageing may continue evolving for the next 5–10 years." [+]
