Saint-Chinian: geological duality and aromatic richness

Saint-Chinian stands out for a fascinating terroir, clearly divided by nature between the schist slopes to the north and the limestone soils to the south. Under typical Mediterranean sunshine, this unique geological configuration allows winemakers to play on several levels.

From this duality arise highly contrasting profiles: powerful, deep and expressive cuvées on schist, or finer, fresher and more elegant wines on limestone. The traditional grape varieties, where grenache noir and carignan are given pride of place, develop here a superb aging potential over the years.

For a complete escape, don't hesitate to travel through the Biterrois or to explore all the charms of the Hérault. You can find all the details of the appellation by going to discover Saint-Chinian.
