Calmel & Joseph - Les Terroirs - Saint-Chinian 2015
17/20
Jancis Robinson
Grown on both clay-limestone and schist soils, the Syrah, Grenache, and Cinsault vines produced a wine in 2015 that is more complex than the previous vintage. Fruity and richly indulgent aromas enliven this Saint Chinian, supported by a beautiful minerality and velvety tannins.

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The perfect choice for anyone who wants to discover fine Languedoc wines that remain true to their terroir. Jérôme Joseph and Laurent Calmel are wine merchants without their own cellars. They age the selected vintages at the wineries from which they purchase them, respecting the original flavors and terroirs. A wide, delightful selection featuring many excellent wines and a few stunning surprises.
