WINE DESCRIPTION

Alain Chabanon Campredon is a biodynamically farmed gem from the Languedoc, crafted with care by acclaimed winemaker Alain Chabanon. Sourced from low-yield vineyards on poor, stony clay-limestone soils, this wine embodies the essence of its rugged terroir. The vines are meticulously tended with biodynamic practices certified by Demeter, including full soil tilling and zero fertilizer use. Harvested by hand into ventilated crates, the grapes undergo traditional vinification with a five-week maceration and gentle pneumatic pressing. Alain Chabanon ensures that no commercial yeasts are added, allowing the natural expression of the fruit to shine. The wine is aged for 10 months in stainless steel tanks, offering a pure and authentic reflection of its origins.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Alain Chabanon Campredon is a masterful blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, wild herbs, and a subtle hint of violet.On the palate, it offers a vibrant medley of dark fruits, with layers of black cherry, plum, and a touch of black pepper. The tannins are smooth yet structured, balancing the wine's full-bodied character with a fresh, mineral-driven finish. Earthy undertones and a lingering spice add depth and complexity to every sip. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled lamb chops, roasted vegetables, or a rich beef stew. For something lighter, try it with a charcuterie board featuring aged cheeses and cured meats.

ORIGINS

Winery: Alain Chabanon

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
