"Ripe black cherries, sorrel leaves, and wild basil on the nose. Superb plush black fruit in an elegant garrigue and stone suit. Captivatingly fresh, tight, and finely crafted. Incredibly rich but with a fine acidity. This racy wine will be ready to drink in a few years." (Jancis Robinson 2020)

About wine:
Well-structured, a wine with a southern soul, featuring aromas of rosemary and a fresh finish that enhances the whole.
About the estate:
After extensive studies in biogenetics, ampelography, and oenology, Cyril Bourgne began his career in Bordeaux (Château de Fieuzal) before embarking on a more personal wine-growing adventure in Languedoc with his wife Nadia. The vineyard is meticulously maintained, allowing for the extraction of long, fine flavors during the vinification process, which now takes place in the new cellar nestled in the Saint-Chinian landscape. The precision of the barrel aging process, implemented for the Grand Vin cuvée, which is predominantly Syrah and Mourvèdre, aims to renew the contemporary expression of Saint-Chinian.

Note and opinion by Mr. ADRIEN M. Published on 09/15/2023
After seven years, beautiful black fruits dominate the nose, even if the alcohol is noticeable. On the palate, this wine retains a lovely freshness, with notes of blackberries, plums, and coffee. The finish is rather short. Nevertheless, this is a good, serious wine.
