The domain: When she decided in 2006 to take over the operation of a domain in Pic-Saint-Loup, gossips would not have bet on the success of Sylvie Guiraudon, a shy woman, then sales manager in a press group. It was without counting on her determination, her thirst for learning, her enthusiasm as well as the unfailing support of her husband Alain. Today, Sylvie manages the 17 hectares of vines of la Chouette du Chai organically and brilliantly. The latter are surrounded by forests of oak, arbutus and juniper interspersed with areas of scrubland where there is great biodiversity. 13 hectares flourish on a clay-limestone soil around 200m altitude while the remaining 4 are located around 320m, on a limestone area with a younger soil. This elevation allows the different grape varieties to take advantage of 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 here it is her wines that speak for her...so listen to her!
