Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The Château de Cazeneuve is an old estate whose origins date back to the 9th century. The vineyards, which had fallen into disuse at the beginning of the 20th century, were revived by André Leenhardt, who cultivates 25 hectares in the Pic Saint-Loup region. André produces lovely white wines. Good news: the small-batch 2017 “Les-Calcaires” vintage signals a shift for the estate toward wines that are at once dense, energetic, and refined. Highly successful, it is a perfect expression of the minerality that this type of soil brings to the classic Languedoc grape varieties. We were thoroughly impressed.

About the estate:
The Château de Cazeneuve, an old 9th-century building, stands at the heart of the estate purchased by André Leenhardt in 1988 after he completed his studies in agronomy. Through replanting, leaving the cooperative, and converting to organic farming (certified in 2010), André Leenhardt is now one of the iconic winemakers of Pic Saint-Loup, at the helm of a beautiful 35-hectare vineyard on clay-limestone soils.

Review by Mr. MASSIMILIANO G. Published on March 12, 2023
I was quite disappointed by a wine that doesn’t fit the profile of the other Pic Saint-Loup wines I’m used to drinking (the wines from Peyrus, among others). I can’t detect any of the bright fruit described in the 1j1v tasting notes; on the contrary, it’s quite austere, still very closed, with bitter notes that are a bit too pronounced even after decanting. I hope that 3–4 years of bottle aging will improve it, though right now I can’t really see that happening… I think there are better wines to be made from this terroir.

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 12/02/2022
An uncomplicated entry-level wine, yet one that hides a delightful treat—a wine where the intensity of red fruits, combined with peppery notes, takes center stage. The palate is wonderfully juicy and lively, supported by soft, well-integrated tannins. This burst of fruit, paired with lovely freshness, carries through to a long, spicy finish. The old Cinsault vines provide remarkable harmony and are guaranteed to make your mouth water. Ready to drink slightly chilled with oven-baked bruschetta topped with Bigorre black ham and Ossau-Iraty cheese, accompanied by a salad of baby greens. Rating = 4.1.
