Winemaker's Notes

Located at the foothills of the Cevennes mountains, St. Chinian is one of the most prestigious appellations in the Languedoc. This handcrafted cuvee Les Uyeres is made from 60-year-old vines by eco-friendly winemaker, Gilles Cantons. The wine is complex, spicy and mineral, with aromas of ripe red fruits, licorice, and garrigue spices. On the palate, it is fruity, spicy, and bold, with a long well-structured finish. Drink over the next 5 years with meats, cheeses, or hearty dishes.
