Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful bouquet
The nose opens with intensity, revealing a complex, racy bouquet: liquorice stick, fur, civet, followed by a minty freshness that energises the whole.
The aromas are animal, spicy and subtly wild, with a touch of timeless elegance.
The attack is supple, with a satiny texture underpinned by fine tension and generous balance.
The wine develops an assertive character with notes of roasted spices and mocha, and warm depth.
The finish is satiny and enveloping, marked by a slight sweetness, a noble warmth and a lingering minty freshness.
A beautifully mature wine, at once intense, nuanced and refined, whose unique character leaves a lasting impression.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.
Domain and appellation
-
Prieuré Saint-Jean de Bébian, a historic Languedoc landmark whose origins date back to Roman times, is the epitome of winemaking excellence and elegance.
Under the direction of Benoît Pontenier since 2015, the estate cultivates its 19 hectares biodynamically, with precise, sulphur-free vinification, revealing wines of rare purity and delicate tannins.
Heir to an exceptional terroir, planted with prestigious grape varieties such as the Syrah of Domaine Chave or the Grenache of Château Rayas, it has established itself as an essential benchmark thanks to its refined cuvées, combining tradition and innovation.
