"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, the start is promising. 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 in a case of preserved freshness. Simply perfect and already irresistible. (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

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.
