Domaine de Cebene - Faugères - Les Bancels 2022

The domaine de Cébène is a real gem nestled in the superb terroir of Faugères. In 27, Brigitte Chevalier acquired a few acres of vines on astonishing Languedoc terroirs.2 km from the Mediterranean, her first vines took root deep in a unique terroir of marine and Villafranchian sediments.The other vineyard of domaine des Cébène is perched on the north-facing schist balconies at the highest point of the Faugères appellation. A judicious choice of this great schist terroir, combined with very limited yields and his work in the service of the wines' freshness. I want to make Northern wines in the South of France," she says. From the very first vintage, the style and delicacy of her uniquely-profiled wines from the domaine des Cébène have conquered the finest tables, proof of her talent for magnifying the expressions of her vineyard. A discovery coup de cur. Guide des meilleurs vins de France 219 : "A woman of wine but a neo-winemaker, Brigitte Chevalier undeniably possesses ambition, a vista, a sense of northern elegance that she wants to give to her wines. By choosing high-altitude vines, mostly with northern exposure, and then digging a cellar buried under schist in the middle of the vines, she has given herself the means to achieve her ambitions. The domaine is now part of the Faugères elite."
