The wine region of Saint-Chinian

Languedoc cru between Beziers and Saint-Pons, signature dual terroir. Fleshy Mediterranean reds with notes of black fruit (blackberry, black cherry), garrigue, pepper, liquorice and spice, firm tannins and a sun-drenched palate. Northern schists: fruitier, smokier profile. Southern clay-limestone: more structured wines.


The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon

Largest single French vineyard, dominated by sunny, generous reds. Spicy Syrah, candied Grenache (ripe fruit, garrigue), structured Carignan, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Stars: structured Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian; round Côtes-du-Roussillon. Legendary vins doux naturels: Banyuls and Maury (fortified Grenache) with notes of cocoa, fig, prune.

The word of the wine: Acidity

When present without excess, acidity contributes to the balance of the wine, giving it freshness and nervousness. But when it is very high, it becomes a defect, giving it a biting and green character. On the other hand, if it is insufficient, the wine is soft.
