Certifiée biodynamique, cette cuvée conviviale se déguste aussi bien à l'apéritif avec de la charcuterie qu'avec des amis autour de viandes grillés et de légumes méditerranéens. More info

This cuvée owes its name to the proximity of the hillsides to the Arlettes limestone massif which allows the formation of special silicas called "chailles". Syrah vines, 40 years old, have been certified organic since 2016 but biodynamic principles have been used. Naturally, the harvest is manual. The fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts and the grapes macerate for several weeks in stainless steel vats with two daily rounds of pump-down and pump-over to extract all their substance and colour. Rich and powerful, Les Chaillés is beautifully tense and tangy. This wine can be enjoyed both young and up to fifteen years later.

Côtes du Rhône Bout d'Zan Famille Thibon-Macagno serve at a temperature of 16°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Lasagnes au confit de canard, Gigot dagneau à la languedocienne.

Peak: Drink until 2028
