Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Château de Cazeneuve is an old building whose origins date back to the 9th century. The vines, which fell into disuse at the beginning of the 20th century, were taken over by André Leenhardt, who farms 25 hectares in the Pic Saint-Loup area. André makes lovely whites. The good news is that the petite cuvée les-calcaires 2017 heralds the estate's inflection towards wines that are at once dense, energetic and fine. Very successful, it is a perfect expression of the minerality that this type of soil brings to the classic Languedoc grape varieties. We were delighted.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Château de Cazeneuve, an old building dating from the 9th century, lies at the heart of the estate bought by André Leenhardt in 1988 after his agronomy studies. Replanting, leaving the cooperative, organic conversion (certified in 2010): Today, André Leenhardt is one of the Pic Saint-Loup's most emblematic winemakers, at the head of a 35-hectare vineyard planted on clay-limestone soil.

Note and review by M. MASSIMILIANO G. Published on 12/03/2023
Quite disappointed by a wine that's not in the register of the other Pic Saint-Loup wines I'm used to drinking (the wines from Peyrus among others). I can't find any of the fruit brightness described in the 1j1v tasting sheet; on the contrary, it's rather austere, still very closed, with bitters a little too pronounced even after decanting. I'm hoping that 3-4 years in bottle will make it better, even if I can't project myself at the moment... I think there are better things to do with this terroir.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 02/12/2022
An uncomplicated entry-level wine, but behind it lies a little delicacy in which the intensity of red fruits combined with peppery notes prevails. Juicy and dynamic on the palate, with soft, mellow tannins. This explosion of fruit and freshness is reflected in a long, spicy finish. The old Cinsault vines bring remarkable harmony and guaranteed salivating pleasure. Ready to drink slightly chilled with baked bruschettas of Bigorre black ham and Ossau Iraty cheese, accompanied by a salad of baby greens. Score = 4, 1.
