The wine: What a great crush that this vintage "Rien ne m'effraie", deep and juicy blend of Syrah and Grenache from Pic Saint Loup! A perfect balance full of freshness emerges from this bottle with spicy aromas (pepper, garrigue, nutmeg, cinnamon) alongside intense notes of  black fruits (blackberry, cherry, plum). Sylvie Guiraudon offers us here a great 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 bad tongues 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 organically and brilliantly 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; So these are her wines that speak for her...so listen to her!
