"Ripe black cherries, sorrel leaf and wild basil on the nose. Superb plush black fruit in an elegant garrigue and stone costume. Enchantingly fresh, tight, finely crafted. Incredibly fat but with fine acidity. This racy wine can still be enjoyed in a few years' time." (Jancis Robinson 2020)

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (guide 2021) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Domain rated (guide 2024) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
Well-structured, a wine with a southern soul, with aromas of rosemary and a fresh finish that enhances the whole.
About the domain :
After advanced studies in biogenetics, ampelography and oenology, Cyril Bourgne began his career in Bordeaux (Château de Fieuzal) before embarking, with his wife Nadia, on a more personal viticultural adventure in the Languedoc. The vineyard is meticulously tended, and the vinifications now carried out in the new cellar, immersed in the Saint-Chinian landscape, enable the extraction of long, fine grapes. The precision of barrel ageing, introduced for the Grand Vin cuvée with its predominantly Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes, aims to renew the contemporary expression of Saint-Chinian.

Note and review by M. ADRIEN M. Published on 15/09/2023
After 7 years, beautiful black fruits dominate the nose, even if the alcohol is noticeable. On the palate, this wine retains its freshness, with notes of blackberries, plums and coffee. Rather short finish. A good, serious wine nonetheless.
