Bursting with red and black fruits, this great value Saint-Chinian wine is perfect with roast beef

Les Hauts de Saint Martin, Saint-Chinian 2020 (Languedoc)

The vineyards of Languedoc-Roussillon in southern France cover a vast area along the Mediterranean coast, stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier to the Spanish border. Here you can find a wide range of wine styles from a variety of grape varieties, producing predominantly red wines. This Saint-Chinian wine is from vineyards located at the southern end of the Massif Central and just 20 miles from the coast, enabling the grapes to benefit from long, hot summers and mild winters, and resulting in a smooth, rich, full-bodied wine.

A blend of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Mourvèdre grapes, this is a dry wine with medium acidity and medium tannins. Aromas of mint, plum and blackberries lead to a palate bursting with red and black fruits, vanilla and spice, and a lingering finish.

A quality wine offering very good value for money. A perfect wine for roast beef, lamb or steak.
