The Domaine Canet Valette is a winery located in Cessenon-sur-Orb, in the Hérault department of France. It was founded in 1992 by Marc Valette, a passionate winemaker who has always been committed to producing authentic, quality wines. He took over the estate from his grandfather, decided to stop selling grapes to the cooperative and produce his own bottles, and converted the estate to organic farming in 1999 - in short, a life well lived!
...
The Domaine Canet Valette now extends over 25 hectares of vines, planted on clay-limestone and schist soils. The grape varieties grown are mainly syrah, grenache noir, carignan noir, mourvèdre and cinsault.

Guide RVF des meilleurs vins de France 2024: 1*/3 (star in the making): The dark, powerful reds immediately caught the eye of colleagues and consumers alike. Very long ageing (3 years for the Cuvée Maghani) accompanies "raw" materials, as we say of art brut. An estate that has never been in better shape than it is today.
La Revue du Vin de France n°640 (April 2020): Passion according to Saint-Chinian. "He was one of the first to give Saint-Chinian, and more broadly the Languedoc, its letters of nobility. [...] His latest vintages have enchanted us with their silkiness"

We were thrilled by the cuvée Antonyme 2023 from the domaine Canet Valette. The nose is expressive with red fruits and spices. The palate is round and greedy; it also has a very nice mache. A superb vintage for this cuvée.
