This white Saint-Chinian is characterized by its finesse and aromatic complexity. It offers very floral notes on the nose—somewhat toasty when young—accompanied by plenty of freshness. A well-rounded white with lovely body on the palate, featuring a mineral and salty finish that is truly delightful. A lovely wine to enjoy during a pleasant family gathering.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Isabelle and Mathieu Champart built their estate from the ground up in 1976 and have made it a hallmark of quality, as year after year, everything produced there remains excellent. The apparent simplicity of these under-the-radar wines was matched only by the length and complexity of their finishes. The estate has changed hands; Pascaline Bour, a relative of the Mulliez family, has taken it over. We look forward to the wines produced by the new team and hope they will continue an incredible string of successes in an appellation that, curiously, suffers from a lack of recognition.

Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

A magnificent landscape, terraced vineyards, a hillside farmhouse, and a very stony, clay-limestone terroir. Since 1976, Isabelle and Matthieu Champart have been cultivating 13 hectares of vineyards (80% of which are organic) in this picture-perfect setting, with an organic approach that predates their official conversion in 2019. They have been making wine here since 1988, the year they left the cooperative.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Fans of the Champart couple—both recently retired—can rest assured: the estate remains in top form, true to the spirit of its founders! Nicolas Gaignon continues to bring these beautiful wines to life, rooted in clay-limestone soil. The 16-hectare estate, situated on the limestone folds overlooking the town of Saint-Chinian, began its transition to organic farming in 2019. Here, the wines are designed for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.

About the wine:

Floral and herbaceous on the nose, with citrus zest, toasted herbs, dried spices, and white flowers. Medium-bodied, it offers a luscious palate of almonds, flowers, and stone fruits. Well-balanced with a lively finish. Ready to drink now.
