Domaine La Linquière - Saint-Chinian Le Chant des Cigales 2013
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
Médaille d'Or
Concours Paris
“The estate stands out once again this year with this cuvée, which was already a favorite in the 2011 and 2010 vintages. A ruby-red wine with deep black highlights, aged in oak for one year, it reveals its charms right from the first whiff—a fiercely southern bouquet with scents of garrigue and eucalyptus, black fruits, and spices against a subtly oaky backdrop. The palate, in perfect harmony, offers power and roundness. It is supported by fine tannins—though still young—and is enhanced by toasty notes in its long finish. A model of harmony that will gain in maturity with aging.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

About the wine:
The estate stands out once again this year with this cuvée, which was already a favorite in the 2011 and 2010 vintages. A ruby-red wine with deep black highlights, aged in barrels for one year, it reveals its charms right from the first whiff—a fiercely southern bouquet with scents of garrigue and eucalyptus, black fruits, and spices against a subtly oaky backdrop. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of power and roundness. It is supported by fine tannins—though still young—and is enhanced by toasty notes in its long finish. A model of harmony, it will gain in maturity with aging.
About the estate:
After leaving the cooperative winery in 2001, this 20-hectare estate owned by the Salvestre family has since established itself as one of the appellation’s leading producers, as evidenced by the numerous awards listed on these pages. The wines come from schist-soil plots perched at an altitude of 310 meters.
