The Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes used to create this 2004 Prestige cuvée take full advantage of the natural blessings bestowed upon the estate: rich soil, abundant sunshine, and an average altitude of 400 meters, which provides a constant, refreshing coolness. An intense wine with notes of red fruit (Burlat cherries, blackberries...). A toasty note adds aromatic complexity. The attack on the palate is supple, the tannins are well-integrated, and the finish is long and generous. A lovely Provence...

Une complexité aromatique et une richesse qui accompagneront idéalement une grive aux raisins, une belle pièce de bœuf, une daube, des fromages affinés…<br/>
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Jacqueline Bichot, a pharmacist who switched careers to become a winemaker, fell in love with this vineyard, ideally situated with the Sainte-Victoire mountain as a backdrop. It sits at an elevation of 400 meters, in an area where the cool climate is reflected in the wines. The Sainte-Victoire terroir produces pure, elegant wines here that are perfectly in tune with their origins. Having earned organic and biodynamic certification in 2017, she has demonstrated the seriousness of her approach and continues to nurture her 47 hectares of vines on the clay-limestone soil typical of the appellation.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2019 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
The estate takes its name from the Chapel of Saint-Ser, dedicated to a 5th-century hermit who, ignoring the threats of the Visigothic ruler Enric, was beheaded. Cultivated using biodynamic methods, its vineyard (46 ha) stretches across a prime terroir of limestone gravel on the southern slope of Sainte-Victoire Mountain, where the grapes enjoy maximum sunlight.
