What makes this wine special?
Sang de Papète stems from long-established Carignan vines rooted in family history, resulting in a powerful wine of infinite delicacy.
Más informaciónThe Sang de Papète is a genuine return to roots and a tribute to Sophie Guizard’s grandfather who started this Carignan plot not far from the town of Béziers more than sixty years ago. These old vines are cultivated organically and produce very low yields of concentrated berries, with no more than 15 hl per hectare. Their grapes are hand-picked, destemmed, and then fermented in stainless steel vats with natural yeasts over an extended period. Maturing continues for 24 months in second-fill Burgundy barrels, before the wine is bottled in keeping with the lunar calendar, without fining or filtration.
Produced in very low quantities, Sang de Papète reveals an intense bouquet of black and red fruits, peony, violet, and garrigue. Its powerful character is balanced by a beautiful freshness, resulting in a wine of infinite delicacy that lingers for quite some time on the palate. This wine may be enjoyed while young but can also be aged for up to 10 years in a cellar.
La bodega Saint-Sylvestre
★ Bodega asociadaVincent Guizard cleared some land and planted new plots of vines on rolled pebbled hillsides that stretch up to a forest while he was working with Frédéric Poutarlié, the winemaker at and owner of Domaine de Montcalmès. These plots are located around Brousses which is situated between Aniane and Puechabon in the southwest of France. Vincent Guizard created his own winery with his wife Sophie in 2010, keeping the vineyard he planted which today covers eight hectares. The couple have chosen to work in a sustainable manner, preferring to carry out the work by hand to care for the terroir and the soil vitality. Each plot is tended to with care and each vine is treated as an individual. Together they have learnt how to graft vines to be able to easily replace those that are too old or ill. In the cellar, the work is also carried out in a sustainable manner to be able to show off the beauty of the terroir in these fruity and illuminous wines.
