"Terroir, fruit, and great aging potential!"

This red wine for wine enthusiasts combines power and finesse... On the palate, it is silky and rich with black fruit, notes of garrigue, and spices. Unique in its blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, and Cinsault, the wine is crafted with precision, aged for 12 months in amphorae and barrels. A well-balanced cuvée with good aging potential, it finishes with a long, powerful aftertaste.

Bettane & Desseauve

Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

In the heart of the Ardèche region, Benoît Chazallon and his wife Florence cultivate forty hectares of organically farmed vineyards. The estate features a wide range of grape varieties, all vinified using native yeasts, to produce several cuvées that are bottled unfiltered. We particularly enjoyed the wines from the Les Confidentielles range (Florence, L’Audacieuse, and Madame de), made exclusively from southern grape varieties.

About the estate:

The medieval castle of La Selve began as a fortified house (in the 13th century) and later served as a hunting lodge for the Duke of Joyeuse, before becoming a winery (40 hectares today, certified organic). Benoît Chazallon has been at the helm since 2002, taking over from his parents.

About the estate:

At their vineyard in the Vivarais region—which they have completely renovated themselves—surrounding their family’s 13th-century fortified castle, Florence and Benoît Chazallon are passionately dedicated to producing French wines that proudly represent the Ardèche hillsides. The lineup is divided into two categories: “Les Classiques,” which are approachable and fruit-forward, and “Les Confidentielles,” more ambitious and complex red cuvées. *La Revue du vin de France* named Château de la Selve its “Discovery of the Year” for 2012.
