2023 Saint-Chinian Rosé
Mas Champart

Vineyards of Mas Champart in the Languedoc
While Bandol may be the French appellation most committed to and closely associated with Mourvèdre, the rugged grape variety can reach spectacular heights all across the south. There are few better examples of this than Mas Champart’s Saint-Chinian rosé, originating one hundred kilometers west of Montpellier. Featuring roughly two parts Mourvèdre, one part Cinsault, and a splash of Syrah, this exquisite cuvée achieves its incredible finesse through an uncommon blend of practices. Mas Champart picks the grapes early to capture as much of the wine’s aromas of fresh red berries, peaches, and assorted citrus as possible. This benchmark domaine also allows its rosé to complete the naturally occurring malolactic fermentation, a traditional but increasingly rare practice that gives the wine more weight and depth and preserves its soulful, spicy Mourvèdre character. Zesty and floral with a touch of spice, this bottling will sing alongside many dishes and in every season. For a pairing that marries the south of France with the southern United States, don’t miss Tanya Holland’s “bayoubaisse.”

About The Producer
Mas Champart
About The Region
Languedoc-Roussillon
Ask wine drinkers around the world, and the word “Languedoc” is sure to elicit mixed reactions. On the one hand, the region is still strongly tied to its past as a producer of cheap, insipid bulk wine in the eyes of many consumers. On the other hand, it is the source of countless great values providing affordable everyday pleasure, with an increasing number of higher-end wines capable of rivaling the best from other parts of France.
While there’s no denying the Languedoc’s checkered history, the last two decades have seen a noticeable shift to fine wine, with an emphasis on terroir. Ambitious growers have sought out vineyard sites with poor, well draining soils in hilly zones, curbed back on irrigation and the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and looked to balance traditional production methods with technological advancements to craft wines with elegance, balance, and a clear sense of place. Today, the overall quality and variety of wines being made in the Languedoc is as high as ever.
Shaped like a crescent hugging the Mediterranean coast, the region boasts an enormous variety of soil types and microclimates depending on elevation, exposition, and relative distance from the coastline and the cooler foothills farther inland. While the warm Mediterranean climate is conducive to the production of reds, there are world-class whites and rosés to be found as well, along with stunning dessert wines revered by connoisseurs for centuries.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
