Description

This wine takes its name from the Latin phrase “From the Sand”, a tribute to the sandy soil where the vines grow. The soil is composed of ancient sea sediments and alluvial deposits that provide excellent drainage and low-vigour vines. The result is a small crop of grapes with intense and complex flavours. This wine showcases the best of Grenache, with expressive aromas of ripe fruit and sweet spices, reminiscent of a Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The palate is smooth and round, with a fresh and spicy edge and soft tannins. This wine is a rare gem among Grenache wines.

Domaine de Cebene

Brigitte Chevalier came to Faugères in 2004 to make wine in her own, highly individual way. Brigitte hunted down and bought the parcels that met her objectives, choosing them on the basis of the quality of their terroir and their grape varieties, their exposure and altitude. In a short space of time, her organically farmed estate of 11 hectares has established itself as a leader within its chosen appellation and a highly rated name within South of France winemaking circles.

Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon, situated in southern France, is renowned for its diverse and high-quality wines. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine, hot summers, and mild winters, ideal for viticulture. Languedoc-Roussillon produces a wide variety of wines, including robust reds from grape varieties like Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, as well as crisp, refreshing whites and rosés. The area is also known for its excellent sparkling wines, particularly Crémant de Limoux. The diverse terroir, ranging from coastal plains to mountainous areas, and a mix of traditional and innovative winemaking techniques result in wines with distinctive character and depth. Languedoc-Roussillon is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts seeking a rich and varied wine experience.
