}

Soft and round, yet refined, are the key words for this red Selection Cazal Viel Rouge wine. Winemaker Laurent Miquel uses Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan grapes, allowing him to create the best blend every year, and at this price point too. Cazal Viel is one of the oldest vineyards in France, as vines have grown here since ancient times. The Romans discovered this area and were the first to introduce vines. From 1202 until the French Revolution, the area was managed by the monks of Fontcaude Abbey. The Miquel family took over Cazal Viel in 1791. Today, Cazal Viel is the largest independent vineyard in the Saint-Chinian appellation. The passion of owner Laurent Miquel and his father Henri creates exceptional wines.

The vineyards of Laurent Miquel

The Cazal Viel vineyards are located in an area near the Caroux Mountains. The Mediterranean climate, combined with extensive soil knowledge, allows Laurent to care for and protect the vines without the use of chemicals. Laurent's philosophy is to create wines that truly reflect the character and complexity of the region. Only superior grapes possess the potential to produce these exceptional Laurent Miquel wines.

What does the Selection Cazal Viel Rouge taste like?

The grapes are carefully picked and selected. The wine ferments under controlled temperatures to preserve the fruit as much as possible. The result is a delicious red wine. This Selection Cazal Viel Rouge has aromas of ripe and fresh red and black fruit with hints of spice, making it very exciting. The palate is soft and abundant with red fruit on the first palate. On the back of the tongue, we detected small berries, light spices, and some warm cherry nuances. The finish is smooth and refreshing.
