"Let yourself be seduced by this Saint-Chinian with its superb balance and suppleness.
"Praised last year for its Best of Belot, the domaine does it again with this Mouleyres, a plot selection aged for a year in new barrels. A luminous purplish color, delicate yet dashing aromas of sweet spices and morello cherry, this is a promising start. On the palate, it's a recital: a full attack, a fleshy, caressing mid-palate, silky tannins well coated by ageing, and a vanilla finish of unstoppable seduction. All this in a case of preserved freshness. Simply perfect and already irresistible. (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

About the wine:
Praised last year for its Best of Belot, the domaine does it again with this Mouleyres, a plot selection aged for a year in new barrels. A luminous purplish hue, delicate yet dashing aromas of sweet spices and morello cherry, this is a promising start. On the palate, it's a recital: a full attack, a fleshy, caressing mid-palate, silky tannins well coated by the ageing process, an unstoppably seductive vanilla finish. All this in a case of preserved freshness. Simply perfect and already irresistible.

About the wine:
A juicy, fruity, playful red, a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. On the nose, notes of black cherries, bay leaves and baking spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. The berries are crisp, the mid-palate is lively and the finish succulent. Drink now.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 04/12/2024
Slender and deep on the palate, with a lively, fleshy envelope of candied black fruits (prunes, cherries and plums) mingled with spicy notes (cloves, black pepper) and a hint of bacon and smoke. Supple, powerful tannins, present but silky, with a hint of bitterness on the finish. A wine of rustic character, to be enjoyed now after decanting, with spicy dishes such as West Indian black pudding and homemade potato purée with pickled onions. Score = 3.7.

Note and review by M. MATHIEU W. Published on 01/12/2024
Diepe kersenrode kleur met paars in de kern. Aan de neus het donkere, aardse en iets reductieve van Saint Chinian. Heel herkenbaar (terroir dus). Donker fruit, koffie, teer, medicinale kruiden. In de mond rijp en sappig donker fruit, cassis, bramen, bosbessen, pruimenmoes, veel materie en een ferme tanninestructuur van fijnkorrelige tannine. Kracht, materie, frisheid en lengte. Prima Saint Chinian tegen een zeer aantrekkelijke prijs. Score: 16/20
