“De La Chevalière,” or “of the knight’s lady,” is a reference to “Mas La Chevalière” which is literally the “farmhouse of the knight’s lady,” the Laroche winery in southern France where this wine is produced.

Sourced from across the Languedoc region: Syrah from the Cévennes; Grenache from Béziers and the Cévennes. The Cévennes is a maze of deep valleys with winding rivers of clear waters, steep slopes covered in forests and jagged rock cliffs and ledges. More than a mountain chain, the Cévennes are in fact a multitude of many-sided open spaces which form the southern part of the Central Massif as it veers towards the Languedoc. Maritime and mountain influences provide cooler nighttime temperatures. Vineyard orientation is south and east; the soil is varied, with limestone, slate, marl and schist predominant.

A excellent vintage in the South of France. Weather conditions were very good, and we attained a high level of ripeness in the grapes and exceptional balance of sugar and acidity. Cool nighttime temperatures in August and early September had a very positive impact on the quality of aromas in the berries, and finally, in the wine. Very complex aromatics.

Appearance: Light rose-petal pink color
