Cyriaque Rozier

Spotlight on Cyriaque Rozier
by Chris Santini
Cyriaque Rozier is among the most promising and exciting vignerons in the Languedoc today. While still not quite a household name, he should be. Spend a day with him on his turf in Pic Saint Loup, and one can’t help but be drawn in by his enthusiasm. By day, he manages Château La Roque, the historic estate in Pic Saint Loup, and then moonlights on his own land, Château Fontanès, literally next door on old Roman terraces that overlook La Roque.
On both properties he’s created a kind of symbiosis between the biodynamically farmed vines, olive trees, medicinal herbs, and fruit trees that are all interspersed. Each plant has an important function in the harmony of the vineyard, be it weed and disease control or pest management or pollination. The idea is to put various plants in to do the work for you, rather than relying solely on chemicals or human brawn.
Below are six wines from a southern French vigneron at the top of his game.

2020 Pic Saint-Loup Rouge
Château Fontanès France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint-Loup
Maybe it’s the biodynamic farming, but these wines always seem to have an extra gear when it comes to aromatics and sheer deliciousness.
