Domaine La Linquière - Saint-Chinian Le Chant des Cigales 2013
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
Médaille d'Or
Concours Paris
"Once again this year, the domaine stands out with this cuvée, already a favorite in the 2011 and 2010 vintages. A ruby-red wine with deep black tints, barrel-aged for a year, it reveals its charms right from the fiercely southern olfaction with its scents of garrigue and eucalyptus, black fruits and spices on a finely wooded background. The palate, in unison, offers power and roundness. It is supported by fine tannins, albeit still young, and is enhanced by toasty notes on the long finish. A model of harmony, which will gain in maturity with age" (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

About the wine:
Once again this year, the domaine stands out with this cuvée, already a favorite in the 2011 and 2010 vintages.

About the domain :
Having left the Cave Coopérative in 2001, this Salvestre family estate (20 ha) has since established itself as one of the appellation's standard-bearers, as evidenced by the numerous awards presented in these pages. The wines come from schist parcels perched at an altitude of 310 m.

Acidity on the finish, lacking amplitude. Fruity but very unbalanced

Prima wijn. Kenmerkende Saint Chinian smaak. Mis wel een beetje de olijvige geur. Ook lekker als 'ie al even open is.

Great potential, but at the end of 2016, it's still too young to be fully appreciated ... 2 more years in the cellar, and I'll open another one!

Not convinced by the glowing reviews, after tasting. On opening, mineral and even salty. Allow to breathe for a long time before serving. Perhaps even too young yet. A little incomprehensible, lacking coherence.

A priori a premature tasting for this song of the garrigues, yet it's hard to resist right now. Ample, round and very fruity on the palate, with soft tannins and aromas of balsamic, ripe cherries and spices. If you liked this wine, take the plunge and try the Cuvée Sentenelle 310, at altitude of course.

Good wine. Deserves a good hour of aeration or a few years in the cellar to fully appreciate.

Excellent, already tasting very well, beautiful structure, powerful and balanced. A wine full of charm, at a friendly price. I recommend it without restraint.

A wonderful discovery. Very vegetal aromas that blend well with black fruit and spices. Drink it or forget it for a few years.
