Domaine de Saint-Ser - Prestige 2006
Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon blend harmoniously to create this Prestige red cuvée. An intense wine with notes of red fruit (Burlat cherries, blackberries, etc.). A toasty note adds aromatic complexity. The attack is supple, the tannins are well-integrated, and the finish is long and generous. A beautiful and delicious red from Provence.

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.
