Saint-Chinian Red: Richness of the Upper Languedoc Terroirs
The Saint-Chinian appellation lies north of Béziers, between sea and mountains, with schist soils in the west and limestone in the east. This geological diversity produces a range of reds that are powerful, fresh, and complex.
A mosaic of soils and grapes
Saint-Chinian reds are primarily made from Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Carignan. Schist soils yield soft, fragrant wines, while limestone zones offer more structured and vibrant cuvées.
Characterful and balanced wines
Expect notes of black fruits, spices, garrigue, and licorice. The palate shows nice texture, smooth tannins, and a fresh finish.
A modern Mediterranean style
Saint-Chinian strikes a balance between southern tradition and a modern approach — expressive, food-friendly reds with great accessibility.
Food pairings
Perfect with beef stew, herb-roasted lamb, Mediterranean dishes, or characterful cheeses.
