Domaine Saint Daumary - Pic Saint-Loup L'Asphodèle 2023
3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"Irresistibly charming!"
“A Favorite three stars: this wine, aged in tanks and jars and blending 20% Grenache with Syrah, comes very close to perfection. No oak, then, but fruit—in a very juicy form—centered on blackcurrant coulis and subtly enhanced by Zinfandel. A body that’s as full-bodied as one could wish for, a supremely silky texture, tannins that blend seamlessly into the whole, and always that delicious, very pure fruitiness—almost irresistible. We tip our hats to it.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026).

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Julien Chapel runs this low-key estate in Valflaunès, which often flies under the radar. We had the chance to taste the lineup this year and must admit we were surprised by the depth of texture in the reds. We’ll be conducting a more detailed tasting next year; in the meantime, be sure to set your sights on these exceptional reds from the appellation.

About the wine:
A Favorite three stars: this wine, aged in tanks and jars and blending 20% Grenache with Syrah, comes very close to perfection. No oak here, just fruit—a very juicy expression centered on blackcurrant coulis and subtly enhanced by Zinfandel. A beautifully full-bodied wine with a silky-smooth texture, well-integrated tannins, and that same delicious, pure fruitiness that’s practically irresistible. We tip our hats to it.
About the estate:
Julien Chapel was the youngest winemaker in the Languedoc when he started out. He took over his father’s vineyards in 1999 at the age of just nineteen and left the cooperative winery. The vineyard (20 ha) is farmed organically.
