With an area of 32ha, the vineyard of Bébian extends in the foothills of the Cevennes, in the area of Coteaux du Languedoc classified Cru Pezenas. One of the jewels of the region!
It has the particularity of being extremely fragmented. In fact, over time, only the 43 parcels representing the greatest geological interest, the best exposure, have been preserved, ie a south-southwest orientation.
For the wines, the grape varieties are composed of Syrah, a mass selection from Chave en Hermitage and 2ha recently planted from Beaucastel to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Grenache from Château Rayas in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Mourvèdre from Domaine Tempier in Bandol.
They grow on arid and stony soils of 3 natures: limestone and clay-limestone of Villafranchien, basalt of volcanic flows, clay-siliceous (white quartz pebbles and travertine / pink marble
Prieuré Saint Jean de Bébian vintage 2017. Garnet colour.On the nose, very southern, aromas of thyme/rosemary are superimposed on aromas of flowers (peony) and black fruits.On the palate, fullness and good length with solar tannins.Finishes with spices and black fruits (blackberry/cassis).Concentrated yet charming wine.
A beautiful wine with flowers, aniseed and honey, all in roundness, delicious with the favourite dish of Ben linguine ai frutti di mare, the chef of Pain Délice our canteen.
Its nose of a great classicism, the moss, the undergrowth, the cherry.Wild with the nose, finely elegant in the mouth with tannins melted and ample.Long and balanced. Perfect to accompany a festive dish.
