91 Points- James Suckling

Nestled in the picturesque Languedoc region of southern France, the Michel Cazevielle winery is like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Imagine winding roads leading you through rolling hills covered in lush vineyards, and there, amid the tranquility, you stumble upon this charming family-owned winery. It's a place where tradition meets innovation, and each sip of their wine tells a story that's been passed down through generations.

Saint Chinian is the name, and it's not just a place; it's a promise of extraordinary wines. This little corner of France, situated between the mountains and the Mediterranean, is like nature's gift to winemakers. The vines bask in the Mediterranean sun, and when the sea breeze comes into play, it infuses the grapes with that unique maritime character. It's a bit like the winery itself—unassuming on the outside, but bursting with personality within.

Now, let's not forget that 2019 was a fantastic vintage for Saint Chinian. Mother Nature smiled upon the vines, and the result is a wine that's bursting with character and complexity, ready to be enjoyed now or aged to perfection.
