I want to make Northern wines in the South of France," she says. From the very first vintage, the style and delicacy of her wines from the domaine des Cébène with its unique profile have won over 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, most of which face north, 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 estate is now part of the Faugères elite."
