La Chouette du Chai - Pic Saint Loup - Rien ne m'effraie - Magnum 2021

The wine: What a great favorite that is this Magnum format of the vintage "Rien ne m'effraie", deep and juicy blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre from Pic Saint Loup! A perfect balance emerges from this bottle with spicy aromas (pepper, garrigue, nutmeg, cinnamon) alongside with intense notes of black fruits (blackberry, cherry, plum). Here, Sylvie Guiraudon offers us a warm and intense wine, proving that Pic Saint Loup is definitely one of the most beautiful appellations in the Languedoc region!

The estate: When she decided in 2006 to take over the operation of an AOC Pic Saint Loup estate, the malicious gossips would not have bet on the success of Sylvie Guiraudon, a shy woman, then sales manager in a press group. This was without counting on her determination, her thirst for learning, her enthusiasm as well as the unfailing support of her husband Alain. Sylvie today manages brilliantly and organically the 17 hectares of vines of la Chouette du Chai. The latter are surrounded by forests of oaks, strawberry trees and junipers, interspersed with areas of scrubland where great biodiversity reigns. 13 hectares flourish on a clay-limestone terroir around 200m altitude while the remaining 4 are located around 320m, in a limestone area with a younger terroir. This elevation allows the different grape varieties to benefit from beautiful thermal amplitudes between day and night, giving the wines superb balance. Like the owl, her totem animal, Sylvie Guiraudon has a certain taste for discretion ; therefore, listen to her wines !
