"A charming, elegant cuvée, perfect with southern dishes".
"Classic 2021 is a clear success, an expression of wild raspberry and spices on the nose and palate, a wine full of delicacy. The tannins are very well integrated and there's a juicy sensation on the finish with a hint of garrigue." (Le Guide RVF 2024)

About the wine:
Classic 2021 is an unqualified success, an expression of wild raspberry and spice on the nose and palate, a wine of great delicacy. The tannins are very well integrated and the finish is juicy with a hint of garrigue.
About the domain :
After advanced studies in biogenetics, ampelography and oenology, Cyril Bourgne began his career in Bordeaux (Château de Fieuzal) before embarking, with his wife Nadia, on a more personal viticultural adventure in the Languedoc. The vineyards are meticulously tended, and the vinifications now carried out in the new cellar, immersed in the Saint-Chinian landscape, enable the extraction of long, fine grapes. The precision of barrel ageing, introduced for the Grand Vin cuvée with its predominantly Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes, aims to renew the contemporary expression of Saint-Chinian.

About the wine:
[...] This wine tells the story of St Chinian in its purest form: no frills, no fancy oak, no winemaking tricks, no extraction of anything. Just the breath of St-Chinian.

About the wine:
A tasty red with notes of roasted meat, warm spices, leather, dry earth and some violets. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins. Well-balanced, with a happy core of fruit in the center and a fresh, peppery finish. Mourvèdre and Syrah from organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 23/09/2023
Favorite for this cuvée nature, with its resolutely southern accents, which lacks neither freshness nor elegance. Slender, round and deep on the palate, this wine is enveloped in a dense, fleshy texture of extremely complex, perfectly ripe, slightly macerated red and black fruits, with fine animal notes, black olives, dried herbs and aromas of thyme and laurel. Backed by caressing, subtly wild tannins, the texture provides a particularly suave, smooth sensation and evolves to a long finish, completed by a touch of zan and chocolate. This remarkable Saint-Chinian, with its slightly tight tannic structure, is still in the making and should quickly soften. With the hunting season just around the corner, the impatient, like myself, will be eager to open this rich and expressive bottle without delay, to sublimate with the family a tasty wild boar stew with the scent of maquis, marinated two days in advance and simmered for two hours, accompanied by a polenta with young Cevennes ceps. Score = 4.2.
