The Vieilles Vignes AOP Saint-Chinian Rouge from Château Saint-Martin des Champs is a distinctive wine showcasing the estate's oldest vineyards. Crafted from a blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, it comes from old vines grown on clay-limestone hillsides with low yields to ensure exceptional concentration and fruit quality. The grapes are hand-harvested, and after a long, carefully managed vinification, the wine is aged for 14 months in a combination of concrete tanks and oak barrels.
Powerful yet beautifully balanced, this wine can be enjoyed now after a short period of decanting, but it also offers excellent ageing potential of 6 to 8 years, during which it will develop even greater complexity.
In the glass, it displays a deep ruby-red colour with amber highlights.
