Chateau Cazal Viel Saint-Chinian 'Vieilles Vignes' 2008 is a blend of 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre grapes, from vines of up to 90 years old. 55% of the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels. Herbs and spices dominate on the nose, with warm blackberry and bramble spice on the palate.
The Miquel family have been making wines in Saint-Chinian, in the Languedoc, since the French Revolution. The estate specialises in Viognier (of which it owns 20 hectares of vines) and Syrah (60 hectares). The estate's mission is to make "the ultimate Saint-Chinian", but its wines from the Pays d'Oc are some of the most affordable, classy offerings from this exciting, often under-valued, region.
