Jean-Philippe Serviere and Philippe Salasc (ex-Domaine Capion owner) run this excellent 26-ha estate in Lunel, near Montpellier. The vineyards stand on poor soils, covered with rolled galets, very similar to Chateauneuf du Pape, with the added advantage of a sea influenced climate.
The style is for dense, exuberant and perfectly balanced wines offering exceptional value.
ANTONIN, COTEAUX DU LANGUEDOC AC “Gres de Montpellier”
70-year old Syrah (80%) with Grenache and Mourvedre grown on soil covered with galets.
Antonin is an exceptional Languedoc wine which punches way above its weight.
“Believe it or not, this smells like a $50 bottle of Cote Rotie. Made from 70-year old Syrah vines, it boasts an amazing perfume of bacon fat, tapenade, and blackberries. Dense and medium-bodied, with loads of fruit, this is a beautiful offering that sells for a song.” Wine Advocate
