Yves Falmet is owner and winemaker of Domaine des Terres Falmet, a 25 hectare estate located in Saint-Chinian. This 100% Cinsault comes from a plot of 50+ year old vines planted on beautiful, steep hillside vineyards. So, all grapes are hand harvested before being vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks.

It is rare to find a wine made exclusively from Cinsault. And, because the vines are older, the wine is unusually concentrated. We get rich black fruit, blueberry, white and black pepper, earthy spice and chalky tannins.
