Château de Cazeneuve - Pic Saint-Loup Le Causse 2018
This single-vineyard wine from the Causse de l'Hortus is made from 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache, expressing both the power of the South and the refinement of high-altitude terroirs. Elegant and fresh, Le Causse reveals a complex profile blending dark fruit, aromatic herbs, and spices with lively acidity and fine tannins. The finish lingers with long licorice notes.

Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Château de Cazeneuve is an old estate whose origins date back to the 9th century. The vineyards, which had fallen into disuse by the early 20th century, were revived by André Leenhardt, who now cultivates 25 hectares in the Pic Saint-Loup region. André produces lovely white wines. Good news: the small 2017 Les-Calcaires cuvée signals a shift for the estate toward wines that are 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:
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. 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.
