Jancis Robinson
Planted on both clay-limestone and schist soils, the Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault vines produce a more complex wine in 2015 than in the previous vintage. Fruity, gourmet aromas awaken this Saint Chinian, supported by beautiful minerality and well-coated tannins.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
The ideal house for those who want to discover good Languedoc wines faithful to their terroir. Jérôme Joseph and Laurent Calmel are wine merchants without a winery. They mature their selected cuvées with the winegrowers from whom they buy them, respecting the flavors and terroirs of their origins. A wide gourmet range with many successful wines and a few stunning surprises.

About the domain :
In 1995, oenologist Laurent Calmel teamed up with Jérôme Joseph to found a trading house specializing in Languedoc-Roussillon terroir wines. The duo launched their label in 2007. He selects the plots, vinifies and ages the cuvées.
