Rated wine (guide 2023) 90/100 (Vintage 2020)

Domain rated (guide 2024) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

This recent estate is run by two agronomic engineers, including a former director of a Fitou winery who took over the family vines from the cooperative. After generous 2016s and great successes in 2017, we noticed the high level of Jalouses in 2018, a benchmark wine from schist terroirs. With the 2019s continuing on this impressive path, we're happy to award them a third star.

Domain rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (Outstanding wine)

About the domain :

Vivien Roussignol and Marie Toussaint set up in 2011 with a single hectare, of goblet-trimmed vines grown on schist slopes. They gradually expanded the vineyard, favoring old vines and keeping alive a rich heritage of grape varieties (some twenty today). The 12 ha are undergoing organic conversion in 2019.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 18/07/2023

A friendly cuvée with an assertive southern profile, unostentatious, sincere and a little rustic, some would say. That said, after a spirited attack, it immediately makes you forget its 14.5% and opens up into a gourmet, fleshy, warm mouthfeel with the fine, unctuous grain of very melted, powerful tannins that release crisp, slightly heady flavors of fresh black fruits, spices and laurel. The final package is similarly full-bodied and tannic, with a hint of chocolate in addition to the intensity of the fruit. Already approachable, but wait a little. A fine example of Saint-Chinian to share with oven-caramelized Aveyron pork tenderloin, on a bed of Cévennes onions and small potatoes. Score = 3.8.
