The vineyard is filled with the finest Syrah grapes, which have been conditioned for decades in the rich soil structure. This allows the plants to easily absorb moisture and withstand the intense sun. Located in the Saint-Chinian region, the vineyard is characterized by powerful wines. Once the grapes have reached full ripeness, they are harvested by hand in the early morning and immediately transported to Cessenon, the town where this wine is made. After pressing, the wine is aged for fourteen months in both new and used oak barrels. This is truly a wine we will never forget. What a powerhouse!
A unique terroir, Laurent Miquel's undivided attention, oak barrel aging, and expert knowledge make Bardou a wine fit for a king. As soon as the bottle is opened, we smell the power of the Syrah grape, abundant herbs and spices, and a rich black fruit aroma. The ruby red color sparkles beautifully in the glass, creating a warm feeling. The aroma reveals the most beautiful impressions of fruit, spices, vanilla, and a hint of toast. The oak notes don't overpower the Syrah aromas. The subtle tannins are in perfect harmony with the oak. A generous and intense wine with a long finish. This luxurious wine displays all the complex characteristics of the Saint Chinian.
