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

Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The ideal place for those who want to discover the best Languedoc wines that remain faithful to their terroir. Jérôme Joseph and Laurent Calmel are wine merchants without a cellar. They age selected vintages at the wineries where they purchase them, respecting the flavors and terroirs of origin. A wide range of delicious wines, including many successful vintages and a few amazing surprises.
