Château de la Selve once again surprises us with its beauty and, above all, its fruit. A red cuvée with a southern profile, but full of freshness. Surprising! A real treat, with fruit, lovely juice and supple, fine tannins. A very fine buddy wine!

Vin de France
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
In the heart of the Ardèche, Benoît Chazallon and his wife Florence cultivate forty hectares of organically grown vines. The estate boasts a wide range of grape varieties, all vinified using indigenous yeasts, to produce several cuvées bottled without filtration. We particularly appreciated the wines in the Les Confidentielles range (Florence, L'Audacieuse and Madame de), made exclusively from southern grape varieties.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
The medieval Château de La Selve was originally (13th c.) a fortified house, then a hunting lodge for the Duke of Joyeuse, before becoming a winegrowing estate (40 ha today, certified organic). Benoît Chazallon has been at the helm since 2002, following in his parents' footsteps.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Florence and Benoît Chazallon's vineyards in the Vivarais region have been completely redesigned around the family's 13th-century fortified château, and they apply themselves passionately to the production of tricolored wines that carry the colors of the Ardèche hillsides high. The range is divided into two categories: Les Classiques, easy-going, fruit-driven wines, and Les Confidentielles, more ambitious, well-built reds. The Revue du Vin de France named Château de la Selve "Discovery of the Year 2012".
