Château de Ciffre Saint Chinian Grand Vin Red 2019

Domaine History

Château de Ciffre is a high-altitude estate in the foothills of the Cévennes, owned by the Lorgeril family. With a commitment to organic farming and a focus on parcel selection, the estate produces wines of depth and elegance that reflect the unique terroir of Saint-Chinian. The “Grand Vin” is the flagship cuvée, made from the best plots and old vines.

Terroir

The vineyards are planted on limestone and schist soils at 300 to 400 meters altitude. This elevation, combined with Mediterranean and mountain influences, ensures slow ripening, vibrant acidity, and fine tannic structure — key elements for aging and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby red with purple reflections. The bouquet is rich and expressive, showing black cherry, wild herbs, pepper, and cocoa. On the palate, it is full-bodied and precise, with silky tannins, concentrated fruit, and a long, spicy finish supported by mineral freshness.

An exceptional Saint-Chinian red with both power and finesse — ideal for cellaring or pairing with refined cuisine.

Pairing

Perfect with roast meats, beef Wellington, game dishes, or truffle risotto.
