Calmel & Joseph Le Bric a Brac Saint Chinian is a special wine from the Saint-Chinian region in the south of France. Saint-Chinian is known for its distinctive wines characterized by richness, complexity, and excellent balance. Le Bric a Brac is a blend of several grape varieties typical of this region, including Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan.

Perfect conditions for Calmel & Joseph Le Bric a Brac Saint Chinian

The vines are located on the rolling hills of Saint-Chinian, where the soils consist of limestone and clay. This terroir and the Mediterranean climate contribute to the grapes' unique flavor profiles. The vinification process of Le Bric a Brac is traditional and begins with a careful selection of grapes from various varietals typical of the region. Carignan is vinified through carbonic maceration at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. This process produces a vibrant fruitiness and a smooth finish in the wine. The Syrah and Grenache are destemmed but not crushed before fermentation in separate concrete vats. After fermentation, the wine is aged in concrete vats for six months. Concrete vats provide a neutral environment for aging, allowing the wine to develop purely and expressively, while respecting the character of the grape varieties and the terroir from which they originate.
