A. & M. GLEIZES – Philippe GIRARDI
SAINT CHINIAN (Languedoc - Roussillon)

The body of the farm is located in the middle of the village of Pierrerue, in Roussillon, South of France, the vines are at several hundred meters from the farm. It consists of 73 pieces divided into 3 poles of culture. The field is located right in the middle of the schist soils, of sandstone and limestone, the remainder of the vineyard being on limestone and sandstone plots.
In the north of the village, on most abrupt slopes, the planted vines are growing on schist, It gives red fruity wines, round and velvety with the perfumes of under wood.



In the south, the vines are growing on argilo-limestones soils made up of gravels, sandstones and conglomerates giving powerful, vigorous and constructed wines with fume notes, spicy and grilled coffee scents.
In these splendid soils, we cultivate with lovely passion Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Viognier and Roussane. As much type of vines which constitute the field and which, we are quite convinced, will flatter the palate of the experts and the amateurs of good wine.




The exceptional climate of shelters (because of the proximity of the mountain of Caroux) supports the culture of the vine as well as the imported specie vegetables like mimosa or orange trees. The North wind is attenuated considerably and the temperature is higher there than the around close areas.

The fermentation is performed in traditional vats. All our vats have thermo regulated system to perform a perfect fermentation. The wine is aged for 12 to 18 month in oak barrels, and in concrete vats. The wine bottling is made at the estate to deliver stable quality wines to our Customers.
