Domaine de Saint-Ser - Les Hauts de Saint-Ser 2012
16,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
This exceptional cuvée is the fruit of the marriage of two of the estate's finest plots: one planted with Syrah, a powerful grape variety with leathery aromas and round tannins, the other with Cabernet-Sauvignon, which brings powerful structure. A very supple red, with powerful tannins and a well-balanced, perfectly controlled woodiness. Superb longevity to boot!

About the domain :
Jacqueline Bichot, a pharmacist turned winemaker, has fallen under the spell of this ideally situated vineyard, with Mont Sainte-Victoire as a backdrop. We're at an altitude of 400 metres, in an area where freshness is reflected in the wines. The Sainte-Victoire terroir produces pure, elegant wines that are perfectly in tune with their terroir. With organic and biodynamic certification acquired in 2017, she validates the seriousness of her approach and continues to pamper her 47 hectares of vines on clay-limestone soil, typical of the appellation.

About the domain :
The estate takes its name from the chapel of Saint-Ser, dedicated to a 5th-century hermit who, ignoring the threats of Visigoth ruler Enric, was beheaded. Managed biodynamically, the 46-hectare vineyard stretches over a privileged terroir of limestone pebbles on the southern slopes of Mont Sainte-Victoire, where the grapes benefit from maximum sunshine.
