"A little fruit bomb—a fun, indulgent wine!"

Château de la Selve surprises us once again with its beauty and, above all, its fruitiness. A red wine with a southern character yet full of freshness. Surprising! A real treat—fruit, lovely juice, and supple, refined tannins. A wonderful wine to enjoy with friends!

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.

Rated Estate: Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

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.

Selected Wineries (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the wineries listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the excellence of French winemaking.)

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.
