Sélectionné
Bettane & Desseauve
A Cevennes grape variety that fell into oblivion after the phylloxera crisis, Chatus has enjoyed an incredible renaissance in recent years. Usually a robust, full-bodied vin de garde that doesn't need to be kept for more than 3 years, Chatus or Syramuse is now available as a full-bodied, fruity wine, accessible as a vin de copain to appreciate all the facets of the grape variety and terroir. Let yourself be tempted by this original and exclusive varietal wine and its gourmet mouthfeel!

Exceptional value for money. It's easy-drinking, fruity and full-bodied, holding up well in the mouth and making you want a refill.

Note and review by M. GILLES F. Published on 03/02/2020
Drank with an oven-roasted pork palette, slow-cooked for four hours, an excellent match with fruit, liveliness and a gourmet mouthfeel. Excellent value for money. I'm sorry I didn't order more a few months ago, but I wanted to find out first.
