Press Review - Saint Chinian

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (David Schildknecht) / Saint Chinian 2005 - 2009-06-30 About Saint Chinian

91/100 The pungent smokiness one associates with schist is prominent in the nose of the H & B 2005 Saint-Chinian (even though the blend favors more Grenache and Mourvedre and more chalk soil than in 2006), along with ripe yet bright cherry fruit, and alluring perfume of iris. In the mouth, the contrast of soothing […]

(92-93)/100 The Hecht & Bannier 2007 Saint-Chinian comes from Syrah, Grenache, very little Mourvedre, and little or no Carignan “as far as we know,” they say, laughing, since old “Grenache” blocks are by no means certified.

Wine Spectator / Saint Chinian 2006 - 2009-06-15 About Saint Chinian

88/100 Bright, peppery red, with plenty of muscle behind the dense mocha, dark plum and blackberry flavors. Hints of leather on the powerful and spicy finish. Needs a good steak to stand up to. Drink now through 2012. –KM

*** + Ce St-Chinian 2005, fascine par sa fraîcheur malgré une matière fruitée dense et riche. Fait en majorité a partir de Syrah, son nez très aromatique laisse s’échapper des arômes de fruits noirs, de fleurs, de réglisse, de toasté et de cacao. En bouche, les tanins sont matures et enrobés, le boisé bien dosé […]
